Watching the review, it’s just such a hilarious level of scam. The stupid marketing video just made it even more obvious. Plus the product itself really was just the icing on the cake.The inclusion of the car charger, the headphones with a 3.5mm jack, the stupid box with the screen in it!
He got half way through the video before having to have a ‘corrections’ section where he took back a load of the claims earlier stated. «There’s no lag» as the phone struggles to swipe between home screens.
The comments too are equally dubious, with loads of different variations of the same comment, talking about the presentation. Definitely gets my ‘marketing scam, fake review’ Spidey senses tingling.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSavelevel 2muteterrorOP6T Stock30 points· 1 month ago

Scamming is always an issue with online giveaways. Regardless, there are many others reasons to believe it was all faked. For one, the boxes were visibly empty cardboard boxes that you can buy for cheap in bulk on many websites, in some shots you can see the seams on the edges of the boxes that wouldn’t be there for actual iPhones boxes, and there was no plastic wrapping on any of them. Secondly, it’s estimated that there would be around 800 iPhones in that truck, so he would have had to spend $800,000 CAD to accomplish this giveaway. I could maybe see this happening if the giveaway was sponsored, but it wasn’t, so I just don’t see anyone spending almost a million dollars on a YouTube giveaway. Also, he never mentioned the exact amount that he was giving away. The truck full of iPhones he was gestering toward and showed in the thumbnail pretty much said all that viewers needed to know, but since he never technically said directly, I guess that would help prevent a lawsuit. If it was legit, I’m sure he would have said how many there were, or at least a rough number. Literally all he said was «I have more iPhones than I can handle» (I’m paraphrasing, but you get the idea) Lastly, he deleted the giveaway video after his subscription gains died down, for… Some reason.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSaveContinue this thread

That shit was a joke. I don’t believe a word coming outta this dude’s mouth. Not anymore, not after seeing a bunch of those comments he left. I have a feeling those comments were as big a reason to take the video down as was Figgers being a shit product. But funny how he didn’t mention any of that shit in his huge backpedalling video.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSavelevel 3BossManMT3 points· 28 days ago
I don’t disagree with you. Look, long and short of it: Floss got over-hyped about this product and didn’t properly vet it. I believe he didn’t get a dime from Figger’s, I believe he was interested in hyping a product for a young company coming up, esp since it was a Black-owned company. His first mistake was suspending his usual «keep it real» meter and got hyped to the max after opening the package. And for the price, it does look impressive at first glance. Until you actually look at the items, and fire up the phone and start using it. Floss realized this even while making the video and had to correct himself. To his credit, he did say in the original video that this was not a flagship or flagship-killer, it is a midrange phone for kids or old folks. I watched the video, he did in fact say that.
But Floss’ second mistake was having too much pride and not admitting it when folks started calling him out. Instead of just saying «hey all, my bad, I got too hype, I should have looked at this more closely,» he got defensive and started terribly insulting some folks, then moderating the comments to make it look better. Finally he yanked the video and hoped it would all blow over. Not a good look.
I’ve been watching his vids from the start and he is an entertaining dude and his «real reviews» are informative. But he is human, we all make mistakes. I’m willing to give him one mulligan. If he does it again, I’ll unsubscribe.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSavelevel 4dontgive_afuckXiaomi Mi A2 / AndroidOne2 points· 26 days ago
I feel ya for wanting to stick with him. Ill still watch his content on occasion, but I chose to unsubscribe. For me, if he would have swallowed his pride 100%, and acknowledged those comments as the fucked up comments they were, then he would have earned my respect back. But he didn’t. That’s weak. Listen, being prideful is one thing, but when that gets in the way of humble, then that becomes problematic, in my eyes.

Watching his response video still doesn’t add up. Before he even got the phone he says he felt it was a rebranded phone. Why the fuck would you do a blind review of a phone that you suspect is a rebrand from the jump without actually seeing if it is what the dude in the email was telling you.
Secondly he said it had nothing to do with being black owned yet his replies to the video made clear mention of race.
So he didn’t get paid..but he was still way too enthusiastic about the phone to the point of being sketchy. the fucking UI was garbage text was cut out at the notches…he should have stopped the video there and just called it a day. Let alone the lag the phone had and tremendous falsification of the specs. If there wasn’t something in it for him why even bother with keeping the video up..just take it down.
Also I call bullshit on him taking it down due to the mis info from Figgers he was getting ripped in the YouTube comments and realized he fucked up and just took it down.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSavelevel 2StopMediaFakery4 points· 25 days ago
As a so called ‘tech reviewer’ he would know whether it had a SD 855. He uses other smartphones with that SoC, so would be completely aware of the fact that the Figgers phone was lagging. He latter said it was trap phone, but why would it be if it had an SD 855? He talks about it like it’s a mid-ranger because he knows it has a slow processor. He said nothing because he’s obviously in on the scam.
The display also looks very poor, yet he said he wasn’t sure if it’s LCD IPS or OLED. He said it probably is LCD, yet left it open for people to wonder what it is, as if it’s a good LCD panel that could be mistaken for OLED. The display looks very poor, I can see it’s blatantly LCD, yet an experienced reviewer isn’t sure?
Any honest person wouldn’t have even posted that video, especially as the Figgers website is vague and full of nonsense. It doesn’t even run smoothly. Flossy isn’t very bright, so maybe he thought he could get away with it and they would sell a few units. But, I find it very strange that when I posted here on reddit that he’s a Freemason and so they are obviously scamming, I received lots of down votes. When that happens it makes me think that plenty of shills were here trying to hide my comment. Why would people on here say it’s a scam, but be so against me saying it’s a Freemason scam? It could all be a contrived event so to get attention. Drama actually creates publicity. A couple of people may have unsubscribed, but he probably gained more new subs. I also think he would have kept quiet and not made this latest video. Something is very fishy here indeed.ReplyGive AwardShareReportSavelevel 3RandomCheeseCakeLumia 620>Lumia 635> HTC One M8> Honor View 101 point· 23 days ago

All of his videos are almost exactly the same.

If he likes the display he just says it’s nice and uses the exact same jokes over and over again.
I legitimately don’t understand how he is so popular. He’s clearly not actually that knowledgeable about phones either.

Floss was too proud and didn’t want to tell the truth, not keeping to his moniker of «keeping it a buck», because he wants to support a small black own business(And he probably feels hurt now that such a small black business is a blatant scam).

It’s so hilarious to see people say «damn I liked Flossy» as if they are gonna stop now. Flossy has always been Flossy period. This type of response by him when being attacked is not something you fake used to like Flossyer’s should be surprised about. He is real raw and always has been. That’s why people like him get the following that he does. He doesn’t sugar coat and he doesn’t give a shit. He makes mistakes because he does things raw and mostly uncut and he addresses them when he needs to. He got scammed now he is a bad guy for trying to support young entrepreneurs who lied to him? Thats not his fault just like it would not be yours if you did it. You put out all the info you could with what you were given then when you release your real raw unboxing about it your suddenly the scam artist? way to go logic hunters. And you wonder why he responds with «people just hating on» him, and he did it the NY hood way because that is who he is and has always been.
