Only you can prevent unboxing videos

YT: One ViewSonic PJD 6531w projector was neglected in the making of this video. :)

Will our descendents find the packaging practices of the past to be enlightening?
Maybe these videos will provide the missing link in the evolution from packaged merchandise to objects devoid of any packaging whatsoever. No one will be able to argue that purchased items were simply willed into existence by an unseen force.

(So tired of searching for product reviews and finding tons of unboxing videos.)

the only thing more annoying is comments attributing Youtube downvote count to some common characteristic of all the downvoters


Like "X people are making unboxing videos right now"

Yeah, those used to be fun, but now every video has them as one of the highest rated comments.

"Imagine having to live with yourself being one of the X people that downvoted this."

How old is that trend? I feel like I saw it for a couple days, then I already saw the criticism of that trend. Either I caught the ass-end of that or trends are moving faster and faster these days.

What the hell are you people even talking about? My head explodes

Although I have only watched a few "unboxing" videos, I have to say I think they have their place. It's a vicarious thrill when your really want a gadget but can't afford it.

Also, if nobody wants to see them, they will go away. If they are common, it's because people want to see them. If that bothers you, don't watch.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I agree. It's almost as good as unwrapping some shiny piece of unfingerprinted electronics yourself. It's nerd porn.>> ^MaxWilder:

I think it's cool for crazy expensive stuff, or really difficult stuff (some 2000 pound CNC lathe for example.. how th' hell to do it) but for commodity crap, yawn

dgandhisays...

For a lot of commodity stuff, finding the answer to "what's in the damned box" can be neigh impossible, I use unboxing vids to find out when the manufacturer and amazon have not bothered to provide a good list. Not exciting, but sometimes useful. >> ^deathcow:

If the unboxing videos were more like this, I would watch more of them:
