Qasim,
I think there are people who actually do feel they can control the channel but it never seems to work out.
I'm not even sure what it would take for someone to force me to do something. Hostages maybe.
Now if UNI-T wanted to me to run a brand new UT181B that addresses my concerns and they were willing to send a couple to me knowing full well what I would do with them, I may have to take them up on it.
Likewise, Gossen could reach out to me with an improved version of the Ultra and I would be willing to give it another shot. That's how you could force me but I don't think I have much to worry about. My channel is small and it seems Brymen is really the only company interested in the tests.
I just don't have a reason to watch feel good reviews like the first one. I liked some of Dave's early reviews and found them to be very entertaining. I adopted his 220V AC line test, with a twist. That was about the only electrical stress test I saw any reviewer's performing and he was the only one. When Dave made the video with his friend using the transient generator, I thought now you are on the right path. Forget swimming with the meters and dropping them off the bridge.
It's really the lack of electrical testing in these feel good reviews that got me interested in running my own tests. That and comments like, "A free HF meter is as good as a Fluke". I wanted to run tests that I saw damage my own equipment. Low energy, high voltage. Switch failure has been a problem, so I started to life cycle a few. Chemical spray has got me before, so you see it now in some of my tests. Again, I do it for myself but just make the videos to try and share what I find. I'm better now about talking on camera but really have no interest in that part of it.
Ever since my friend gave me his Fluke 189, I have been curious how it would hold up. For me, it's just such a nice general purpose meter like that BM869s. I like it so much, I ended up finding a second one in very good condition. You can count on me running one at some point and showing things like reverse engineering the front end and transient testing.
It may be sooner than you think. I need to get my $70 ready ...
