Sorry for any confusion. About that Photography YouTuber link, he has one YouTube channel, and he uses that one channel to pump out a ton of videos about a few main topics: namely various Philosophy + Metaphysics stuff, Photography, and Physics/Magnetism. Some of that stuff might not be everybody's cup of tea, but he's an interesting guy.
But he really does have some great reviews on photography stuff.

For general movie reviews, I am thoroughly entertained by https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker
For audio equipment, it's good for an initial first impression from https://www.youtube.com/@ZReviews
For photography equipment (particularly Fuji stuff), there's no reviewer I trust more than https://www.youtube.com/@kathodosdotcom
For reviews of sex toys, I prefer asking your mother. Just kidding.
That said, you pretty much have to listen to a few reviews from somebody and figure out if they think about things in a way that you can really appreciate, even if you disagree with them about some stuff. I've disagreed with all of these reviewers about different products and things, but almost always appreciated their perspective being based on something real.
