Personally I don’t see the framework investment as an overwhelming conflict of interest. It’s an amount of money that’s not excessive for him(using the figures from the GN video), so if it were to vanish it wouldn’t be life changing. It’s also unlikely to be a life changer for him if it were to 10x. It sounds like even if it were to 100x, it would only increase his net worth by 20%.
It’s disclosed frequently and the investment is very public, so the viewer knows to be aware of that potential bias.
The much larger issues are the countless errors in the video that can mislead millions of viewers with bad data and poor testing oversight… and of course how those errors are handled once they are pointed out. I’d wager 95% of viewers would never read a pinned comment. These errors and their treatment cast doubt on the multi million dollar investment into a lab dedicated to guiding purchasing decisions.
