That just comes off to me as egotistical.

Its the feeling of unboxing a new product, without having to pay for a new product.

If you know, you know.
I typically watch them before I buy something and if I cannot find a full description of what's included or only vague descriptions and I actually want to see what the stuff looks like.

Signature goes here.
This kind of. I usually do it for collectors edition I have preordered so I can get a heads up on what I can expect when I get my own since when there's an "Official" ad going over the CE goodies for a game, the video is usually only a one minute long piece of shit that doesn't help me get a glimpse as to what I'm really getting come release date.

Examples include FFT-0 CE and especially FFX/X-2 HD CE for PS3. FFX/X-2 HD was notorious for having like three different CE depending on the region and whether or not it was PS3 or PS4.

I typically watch them before I buy something and if I cannot find a full description of what's included or only vague descriptions and I actually want to see what the stuff looks like.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

It all starts out innocent enough.

Then you find yourself listening to NutnFancy spend thirty minutes talking about the POU of a folder in accordance with his SAWC and will it fit in his tactical glock brand phanny pack


Then you end up way down the rabbit hole.

when I was 12 I was poor and didn't have halo 3 so I watched all of the unboxing vids as a surrogate for not being able to do it myself

I listen to Ashens bitch when I'm drifting off to sleep because he's borderline ASMR without being creepy.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Acts as an inventory list as usually it's a reviewer so you know they're going to get the full whack.

I use em to compare against whatever collector's editions I get if I think I'm missing something from the box, e.g. specifically shaped packaging only to be an empty space.

They irritate me to no end, and I assume it´s just another video to get people excited about and to collect more view revenue or something.  Unless youtubers don´t get paid by views, then I don´t know

They are paid based on the number of clicks on an ad displayed in their video.
