The bizarre, lucrative world of 'unboxing' videos
- PaulHoule 13y agoWhy is it the only interesting coverage on CNN these days is when they put up Youtube videos?
- mattgreenrocks 13y agoReally? Slow pans over the product with background music? And it may not even be produced by the company itself? Unboxing videos are consumer pornography.
- dccoolgai 13y agoI don't mind them if they are short and part of a larger narrative about the product itself...(like Dicetower boardgame reviews where they dump all the pieces in the box)...but I can't imagine just watching that because it's an unboxing vid...I have a feeling so many people saw that kinderegg vid because they searched youtube for "kinder egg" and not because they wanted to see an unboxing vid, per se.
