Yeah, we literally collected a months worth of trash just so we could throw it across our room for this video 😂 - which other tech fails do you wanna see me cover? For the Next episode in the series: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mXJ6p6iRaq92sXU.html Download the latest version of Opera Browser: opr.as/1q2a-Arun

What makes the BetterHelp situation worse is how many UKpostsrs I still see who take them as sponsors.

“If you subscribe to this channel, you are an instant 10” is a wild thing to say when the context of that number is a 10/10 failure

I personally think the BetterHelp case is a perfect 10. It's dirty, it's outrageous and it shows how cheaply the tech which revolves around you treats you with minimal consequences.

Your therapist selling your information to advertisers sounds like something you’d see in a black mirror episode

Props to Arun for including casetify even when he's had a record of having them as sponsors numerous times.

Man that coolest cooler looks legit too bad the product got ruined by the greed of the owner that would have probably been a major innovation for every outdoor party

11:37 - To quote Alex Blechman: Sci-Fi Author: In my book, I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel 'Don't Create The Torment Nexus'.

Betterhelp and Facebook collab takes me back to Cambridge Analytica times. We are living in a true dystopia thanks to them.

The coolest cooler could’ve actually been something my family relatives would’ve gotten. Such a shame and shady thing from a CEO to ruined it with greed.

Something else worth mentioning about Betterhelp is some of the counselors didn't even have the credentials to be practicing.

Bro put Twitter first but didn’t say a thing about Threads which managed to die in less than 1 month lol

Ticketmaster caused such a stink in Australia it almost directly led to about half a dozen smaller sites to sell tickets. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival used to force everyone to use it not just lets people use their own.

I will do a push up for every like this comment gets…

In my opinion better help should be top 1, asking people personal questions just to sell them more products with their own private data is just disgusting and cruel to people who are struggling.

25:30 - Of course Bob Iger is going to blame the decline of the Marvel universe on "Diluting Audience's focus and attention" no company is actually going to come out and say, "Yeah, the truth is we've just hired really crappy writers and the movies suck now."

1 thing I wanted to add for marvel is not only is it the burn out from so much content that is basically essential by this point but also the quality of that content. We still love shows like loki, having it be one of the most highest rated shows that has been produced by Marvel past endgame but it also really stands out when compared to many other shows like She-Hulk, Thor love and Thunder, Secret Invasion, Eternals, etc etc.

FINALLY! This is my absolute favorite series on this channel. So much stupidity, not NEARLY enough time...

Glad to see someone as big as you talking about Betterhelp, it didn't help when other large youtubers out there were ignorant about the malpractice and taking sponsorships to shill them out to people who might actually need help.

Am surprised Arun didn't mention Threads as a fail but mentioned X as the top fail 😂😂 What an amazing review indeed! 30:16

I love the way you start your videos with full energy which at the same time it gets people into a wonderful mood keep up the good work

Zune wasn't a tech fail, it was a branding fail. The device itself was freaking awesome and the software was ahead of its time.

The BetterHelp one should definitely be top of the list. It's sad how many large influencers they sponsor despite their shady information selling tactics. Stellar video as always!

That’s crazy..I remember those loop bracelets being given to us for free at our schools indigenous appreciation day. I never realised they were some super “weight loss” cure 😂 we were 8 when we got them. Crazy.

8:16 Well done, Aron, for supporting JerryRigEverything about the casetify rip off.

Casetify = 🗑️

You know we're digging in shit when the first item is a *real life microtransaction*

why the quest 3 on the list

Props to Arun for turning his filming set and back garden into a landfill for one video

Seeing Better Help in that list with the given rating was the biggest shock ever 🤯, I've seen their sponsorship/ad in literally every known UKposts channel !! Yet in reality they were running this shitty business of selling the most vulnerable people's most personal data to other companies 🤦🏻😤😤😤 UNBELIEVABLE !!!

I one of those people that like the Zune in fact i got a Zune 30 before eventually switching to a ipod classic because my mum gave me one for my birthday.I still held on to my Zune because of nostalgic reasons and its great ui design. 😀

one thing you mention about Twitter and i totally agree with the fact that free speech comes with less moderation, so most people can say whatever they want

This is the only man who can talk about companies like this and still have them collaborate with him.

I really like how Arun puts sponsor breaks after delivering all the content he had planned, instead of having it as an interruption in between the video, which a lotta other creators still do. This allows him to deliver us the content we love while also giving the sponsors their rightful mention

10:24 Nope. The only "squid game" I've ever heard of is Splatoon.

Regarding Twitter, a friend of mine, who's a content creator gets impersonated by other people, but in a very obvious way. Now, even after reporting the person impersonating multiple Times, Twitter always said "We can't find any case of impersonating..."

16:48 you’re calling me a 10/10 fail for subscribing… now that’s a 10/10 fail 😂

29:00 WHAT THE HELL OH MY GOD!!

Ray William Johnson: "I'll say this for the 1,000,000th time. F*** Ticketmaster"

The Hypocricy of criticising tech fails and unethicals scams and then advertising Opera at the end was by far the funniest part of the video lmao.

0:10 BMW 1:21 Power Balance 2:05 Amazon Dash 3:45 Coolest Cooler 6:11 Galaxy Home 8:27 *Casetify* 10:33 Squid Game: The Challenge 12:13 CNN+ 14:32 Ticketmaster 17:04 Zune 18:46 Zume 20:47 Valeo Theft 21:54 Betterhelp 23:30 Marvel 26:17 IRL 27:43 Metaverse 30:13 Twitter / X done at 2am, if I missed any mb

I remember power balance being on shark tank, and Mark Cuban immediately calling them out as a scam 😂

Literally a BetterHelp advert just came on halfway through this video! 🤣

Love these videos. This channel gives you a reality check time to time.

Damn, the cooler one actually seemed pretty cool. It just sucks that people have no chill...

The standout feature that Zune had that was way ahead of its time was a subscription music service long before Spotify, Apple Music, or UKposts Music. With the iPod, you had to pay for each song on iTunes while the Zune provided an all-you-can-listen approach that every big player in the industry does now.

Surprised to see DashButtons in this list. I think it was brilliant idea and I would love to have them in my house. They could just modify it a bit so instead of sending items to you directly, they will be placed in your shopping bag. It would make everyone happy and avoid many issues.

Regarding the while metaverse topic. The meta implementation if social vr apps failed horribly as you mentioned. But third party social vr spaces like vrchat are flourishing. Meta has the current vr hardware monopoly with 60% of all active vr headsets being either quest 2 or quest 3. They are playing the long game and already established themselves as the main consumer vr headset manufacturer

I remember seeing those Betterhelp ads, finding them sketchy AF (and subsequently skipping past) and I am happy to find my suspicions validated, but sad for all the people who got screwed over.

17:03 Fun fact : The Zune had WiFi & everyone thought it was for the music streaming services but it was actually for sharing songs form one Zune to another & Microsoft actually nicknamed it to “Squirting”

When the Metaverse was announced, I was scared that it would create some Black Mirror dystopia. Im glad it failed

I had the later model Zune and loved it, might still have it somewhere. And their model of getting to keep X number of songs a month was great too. The UI and all were much better in my opinion than other music players.

Love how a company literally gouging, stealing and cheating customers out of money is not as bad as companies that make stupid decisions.

Yeah no, the problem with Marvel is quality, not quantity. And of course CEO will say 'oh, we were just making too many good things" instead of "we were making bad things".

“ That’s the price of free speech “

For 5 years now, I've predicted that at some point in near future humanity would begin to digitalize their vision with wearable visual PCs. It started with the Vive's passthrough which made me realise it was possible, but the technology simply wasn't in place for it. And since, I've been keeping a close eye on the VR and Mobile spaces, trying to spot the technologies which would make it all possible. When Mark announce Horizon worlds, I knew the technology was not there, even now I think we're still a good decade before we see the renaissance for face-computers. The early technology in the VR-MR-XR space which we're still currently in is still at a "Enthusiast" level, kind of like early pre-late-90s PCs. There simply isn't enough reasons for people to move over. I also think Mark focused too much on the idea of "Immersion" because, honestly, most people don't give a crap about that after a long enough period. Also, the AVP isn't where I think the technology is going either. The AVP does everything I expect well, but it doesn't provide reasons to actually use it over other tech. You can watch an movie using a TV more easily and socially with a TV, you can video call someone more personally on a PC, you can browse the web and play games or work more efficiently on literally anything.

How could you not add Threads to this , that was like a 11/10 failure

28:40 "Empty, Dead, Boring and Ugly" sounds like you were describing Mark for a second.

LOL I just got served an advertisement for Better Help during your video!

"But if you subscribe to this channel, then you are an instant 10" Does that mean I'm a 10/10 Failure 😂😂

The Coolest cooler really didn't deserve to go out like that, it had so much potential. Hope it gets revitalised or some good alternatives come around

The Zune was actually pretty good and deserved better. Sure it was "just another iPod", but it was one of like 3 that had enough storage to hold your entire library, and one of only 2 with a non-garbage UI. That should've been a whole vibrant product category and instead all we got was the ipod and a bunch of sandisk clip type players that weren't meant for much more than a workout playlist.

Twitter is just 4chan with microtransactions at this point

16:48 Arun: "if you subscribe, you are an instant 10" "10/10 on FAIL RATING ?!?!😨😨"

"if you subscribe you're an instant 10", dude forgot what he was rating in this video 😂

Given this show gave my dad positive feelings while his life was ending, I'd say thank you for delivering an outstanding product.

Zune was fantastic and you can't convince me otherwise

To me, BetterHelp preying on people in such a vulnerable state and selling them out to Facebook makes them a worse tech fail in my eyes than your top 3 combined regardless of the loss valuations.

Talking about BetterHelp, a well-known UKposts sponsor, selling your data and then getting sponsored by Opera. In the same video. What a plot twist.

Twitter was way worse when it came to nudity, porn, and gore before it turned to X. The fact that you skim skin deep about it tells me more about the lack of knowledge on the subject and I only agree with its profit margin and value going down for now.

Opera: a closed source browser made by a Chinese company (likely spyware) and no features a regular browser can't have with plugins. I don't see the reason to change

Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.

When you said betterhelp i started skipping thinking it was an add hahaha

I love my Zune! also it was not exactly a "carbon copy" of the Ipod video it accepted way more file formats and you can load files into it without having to use Itunes. (or even microsoft zune's software) Also Zune would do way better at reading the meta data of your music and it would have the artist/ song title and even the album art and have everthing sorted in it's appropriate albums seamlessly without the user having to manually do any of that! No more endless lists of "artist unknown" and "untitled" it was actually a better user experience! But all the media could focus on is "this is a ipod copycat how original hur dur!

Zune HD was my first AMOLED device, and the UI was one of my favorite things ever.

when i saw better help on the list i genuinely thought it was a sponsored video, didn't knew this was happening, in love with these type of content!

Never thought he would do a tech fail video again. Great work!

Things wrong about the rebranding of Twitter to X are: 1. Bland and generic name. Gets pretty forgettable as most people still prefer saying Twitter instead of X (which I am one of them). 2. The word tweet has less meaning as it is associated with the name and logo of Twitter not X 3. The logo is generic with a lack of creativity and doesn't mean anything.

I have 2 broken zunes at home. I loved them, best device I've ever had specially with the zune software, I hope for one day for Microsoft to release a phone with a music app that looks like the zune software. Something like the Nokia lumia but on a Samsung

Can't wait for this series to resume once again... it has always been one of my favorites. ❤

I don't have enough words to describe the good things about this content

The zune was actually really good, they just decided supporting their existing music drm service was a bad idea, so they made a new zune store, and nobody wanted to use it, so it failed.

One of the most enjoyable UKposts videos I've seen in a while, nice work! As a hardcore VR user it boggles my mind that Meta can waste so much money and come up with such a bad looking product as the metaverse.

5:33 what a great story of how greed can genuinely ruin a potentially great legacy

What's goofy about meta, is that if they just bought vrchat and fended/added devs, they coulda done it for like 200m max and had a much better product a couple YEARS ago

Did he just call us a 10/10 failure for subscribing??? Lmao 16:40

16:44 you basically said I'm an instant 10/10 garbage tech fail if I subscribed... DONE

Love how if we are subscribed we are considered a 10/10 fail!

I still remember BMW's ad of "From Berlin to Warsaw in 1 tank". Disappointed they are doing that 🚮

literally got a betterhelp ad in the section about betterhelp lol

I actually got those tons of those dash buttons near the end of the cycle when they were on sale for $1 but was still refunded the original $5 so I was getting paid to use them. Then on top of that, they actually have a lithium primary AA cell in them that I would then break out of the dash button. These batteries typically cost like $10+ for a pack of 4. I've since moved countries and houses multiple times and still have some of the lithium batteries I keep for high drain items of valuable items I don't want batteries leaking into.

I bet there’s loads of coolers like that now, that’s the silver lining for things like this. Always be someone who will make it better

Totally understand why Rammstein flat out refuses to sell their tickets on ticket master now. I cannot imagine driving as far as I did to not be let in because of some issue with the website where I bought the ticket from. The action of requiring the purchaser to be the only one to use the ticket should be illegal, or they should at least be eligible for a refund if that was not disclosed. That is gross misrepresentation on a whole new level.

I think the way you convinced people to subscribe is a 10/10, saying that if the person subscribes they are the biggest fail.

I dunno what AT&T-Warner was thinking with CNN+. They're not Fox News who people watch for the personalities. People actually watch CNN for news, they don't really care about the personalities.

I DEVOUR Arun's tech fail videos, amazing as always

So if I subscribed I am trash😢😢

Fun fact, the Microsoft Zune's feature to temporarily share songs to other Zune users wirelessly was called - I kid you not - *squirting*

As someone who bought the quest 1, and quest 2, and is about to get the quest 3 I agree with you. Marc isn’t doing anything the vr community wouldn’t be the same if these wonder full game creators didn’t make these fantastic games. This is one of the worst years for vr yet even vr content creators are getting less views. 2020 was the golden age of vr in my opinion.

The main thing I saw as to why these companies didn’t succeed and failed horribly is because of Greed. 🤦🏻
