This week, Taylor takes a hard look at how reviewers and influencers shape the EDC world—sometimes for the worse. Sparked by a viewer’s confession about the underrated Leatherman Free K4, Taylor reflects on how trends, thumbnails, and first impressions can bury great gear before it ever gets a fair chance. It’s a deep dive into bias, influence, and what happens when the loudest voices decide what’s “good.”
