3) Reviews are quick, usually less than 1 minute
4) You can literally see the review as it's happening - no "hidden" angles or other BS like that

North America - step up your video review game!
I love how polite the umpires are when talking in the review.

"Can I have another angle please? Slow it down, rock and roll please. Thank you."

These guys come in and it’s always a nice polite one. You serve them because you dont want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
