Free shite is not of their concern when they are talking about their livelihoods. It’s just a nice perk.
It totally is a huge part of smaller channel livelihoods and even the bigger channels would see a decreased view count if they were forced to deal with bots and queues like the rest of us and other less known channels got to be first to review. Being gifted products well before the masses helps their channels out greatly.
Being in the good graces of these manufacturers can really make your channel.

I wouldn’t trust them if they bent the knee for a good review for a $700 item.

And that’s why it’s an ethical problem in the first place, many a company have rules against accepting free shite from vendors.
Don’t want to be in that position, don’t put yourself in that position.

I don’t think you are grasping the argument

I don't really think you realize you're making my point. If Nvidia cuts access, because hes not giving favorable reviews to a certain feature, that directly impacts HUB. That is their entire day job.
How are you failing to see this?

I fully see this and see the ethical issues with it. When you depend on a company to give you free shite as the means you live by, you now live in a compromised position in debt to that company. You cannot complain if they decide to revoke your nice little sweetheart deal if they don’t like what you write about them. They gift that card for advertising and if there is no worth there for them because they don’t get the advertising they want, they can take their little sweetheart deal elsewhere.
The YouTube review industry is an ethical nightmare built on being the first to receive goods at no cost.

I’m ready to boost my older PC a bit. What options do I have to make my setup better?
GPU: 1660TI
CPU: I5-3570K @ 3.40GHz
MB:Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
PSU: Corsair CX500
I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade the CPU? Are they just plug and play?

Not entirely. You're only upgrade option is a 3770k, but that's pretty old nowadays
To upgrade to anything new, you'll have to buy a new motherboard and ram at minimum

Blue, what do you recommend for an upgrade? I’d like to keep it under $300. Would you just get the new CPU or replace the motherboard and CPU. I would have to get new RAM with a new motherboard, right? My board now takes DDR3.

I would save up a little more while waiting for the AMD 5000 series to be more readily available.
If you can get to ~$500, you'll be able to get a new CPU, motherboard and 16gb DDR4 ram

What CPU and motherboard do you recommend? Also, would my current power supply be sufficient?

Nice, the 5900x is still playing hide and seek with me. I got someone in Atlanta hitting up microcenters for me. I don’t know if he is bored or what, but he has been going pretty much every morning prior to store opening and getting cards and cpus for people on a discord. Probably gets some decent tips from it.
My EK block for it arrived today though.
