I think some of the cottage vlogger community demonstrated that they have the tools & skills to measure the discrepencies they highlight. On the other end of it brands can be super shady when they'd need to admit to their QC faults (eg: Cannondale first says frame is unsafe to ride due to user error during installation, then issues brand new frame that has the exact same issue fresh out of the box, Cannondale now says its by desig

Here's a Praxis crankset that I bought from a guy who said he tried 3 different BB/crank brands but the bearings would never last. Its not about an annoying creak, its about binning a BB every few thousand kms.

And you are left with grifters who provide a niche solution to a niche problem.
