The solution is simple--don't buy the crap ones.

Yep. There's zero excuse for putting up with leaky batteries. If a battery wrecks one of your devices after reading this post then it's 100% YOUR fault.

Don't blame "Duracell", don't blame "Energizer", blame yourself.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about  :-//

LOL. I get thousands of people say order of magnitude worser things to me than anything you've ever said or implied, and I don't ban them. it's water off a ducks back. Quack.

One of the values in a shootout is making it obvious that some meters just don't make the cut. i.e. why on earth would you buy meter X when meter Y is better in almost every way for the same price/size/feature set or whatever.
This was pretty clear in my pocket meter shootout. Yet if you reviewed them individually and didn't compare, then you could find reasons without that comparison why it's not that bad.

This is why it's important to compare meters in the same price or some other specific category.

But yes, any creator will cop heat any way they do it because it didn't include the meter they wanted, or some model is way cheaper in their country etc. It's always a no-win.

Everything device has strengths and weaknesses.

One of the biggest complaints I get in reviews and shootouts is the price. "Why didn't you include the price in country X?"  ::)
It gets unwieldy when you include a couple countries, let alone say a dozen of the major ones.

--- End quote ---

Like it or not, people watch Youtubers for a reason, it's in the name YOUtube. They watch YOU for YOUR opinion whether us creators like that or not.
Joe for example might think he's not offering an opinion, and that he's just doing the tests and presenting the data, but it's way more than that. Viewers are taking subtle clues from what he says and the way he says it etc. Welcome to the human race.
