A scandal broke out in the world of technology reviews: popular YouTube blogger Arum Maini was not invited to the Google Pixel 9 presentation, presumably because of his criticism of previous models. This sparked a wave of discussion about freedom of opinion and the relationship between producers and reviewers.
Scandal with a blogger
Unexpected lack of invitation
Famous technology commentator Arum Maini, host of Mrwhosetheboss on YouTube, which has over 19 million subscribers, has been in the spotlight for not being invited to the launch of Google's new Pixel 9 smartphone. This has caused confusion among its fans, especially since other popular bloggers such as MKBHD and Dave2D have already published their reviews new items
Alleged reason for ignoring
On his Twitter account, Maini shared an assumption about the reasons for this decision by Google. In his opinion, the company may have deliberately ignored his channel due to “straightforward but honest” criticism of the previous Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro models. In his 20-minute video review, the blogger pointed out the discrepancy between the stated characteristics and the actual capabilities of the devices, especially in the field of generative artificial intelligence.
Criticism of previous models
Arum noted that the AI functions in the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro worked through cloud services, which required permanent Internet connection to use them. This, according to the blogger, did not correspond to Google's initial statements about the capabilities of the devices.
Blogger Position
Despite the lack of an invitation, Maini did not delete his critical review and continues to defend his position. He emphasized: "I did not receive an invitation to this year's Pixel event. Attempts to contact various contacts at Google went unanswered. My criticism of previous flagships should not be a reason to be ignored. I stand by my opinion, which should be taken as an opportunity to improve the product ".

Wow! Is Google really that offended by honest criticism? 😲 I think it's very unprofessional of them.
Hans
I agree with Eleonora. If a company can't accept constructive criticism, that's a bad sign. Perhaps Google has something to hide in the new Pixel 9? 🤔
Sophie
I think it might just be a misunderstanding. A large company like Google probably has more important things to do than take revenge on bloggers. Maybe the invitation got lost? 📧🕵️♀️
Giovanni
Sophie, I don't think this is an accident. 19 million subscribers is a huge audience. Google is clearly trying to control the narrative around the new Pixel. This is a warning sign 😬
Klaus
Ha! Another storm in a teacup. What difference does it make who reviews what? All these bloggers and their opinions are a waste of time. It would be better if Google didn’t invite anyone at all, and just released a normal phone without any fanfare.
Margot
Klaus, but reviews help people make purchasing decisions! 🛒 I personally always watch Mrwhosetheboss before buying new gadgets. His honesty is exactly what consumers need.
Pedro
I agree with Margot. This behavior by Google may backfire. Now I'm even more eager to hear Arum's opinion on the Pixel 9! Maybe we can organize a flash mob in support of honest reviews? 📢👍
Eleonora
Pedro, great idea! Let's start a hashtag #LetArumReview or something similar. Google needs to understand that we value independent opinions, not just eulogies 💪🔍
