I feel like that every time I watch their videos.
Got a tip for us?

Anybody feels being mind controlled when watching MaxTech videos?

Not literally, of course, but their content is extremely disingenuous. They just say whatever is going to keep people engaged. It's why their opinion seems to change with each video - because they don't actually share their real opinions. You do yourself a disservice if you take them seriously for too long.
The whole apple rumour mill on youtube is totally over the top. clickbait everywhere , but very little fact, simply because the truth is well hidden by apple, and you have to wade through 95% rubbish to get the 5% founded in a true leak ...
I'm not sure what to say, if you think there's some level of mind control occurring, may I suggest you have other priorities to sort out instead of YT

There are many sources of mind control these days. MaxTech videos are not one of them.
The sad thing is that this is totally true.
They change the titles as well, hours or sometimes days later, to be more “controversial”.
Maybe the way he talks and his hands' movements. For example, see the first ten seconds of this video. It is like hammering my head with his words.
Very funny!
I guess he wants to get votes from people with all sort of opinions.
Are they paying all these machines with their money or just do the review and return?

Y'all are thinking way too small. If I were them and I were controlling your mind, I'd cut to the chase.

Clickbait is a type of mind control. Just like your post... and MaxTech videos. 
I hate the way they use self-congratulatory language in order to appear ‘better’ than other tech outlets, like the “And we told you about this first”, and “And we were the first to discover this remember”. What do they want, a cookie?
I found the answer to be quite simple, don’t interact with the channel. I unsubscribed from the channel and, rarely, when YouTube suggest a maxtech video to me I’ll watch - to see if the style has changed - and turn off when I see that it hasn’t.
I can't stand that channel 😅 His over-the-top concerned voice, matching gestures and mimic just kinda rub me the wrong way.
There's a lot of clickbait out there and most (if not all) YouTubers are guilty of that to a degree, but I'll take Luke Miani, Mobile Tech Reviews, Tech Chap etc over MaxTech any day.

the best tips are recycled from (2 names below): they lace them with clickbait to satisfy the you tube business model. Some of the independent ideas are just plain silly, and everything is usually oriented to video processing because thats what you tubers do most. I bought an intel machine for the time being but the m2 14in macbooks I have used seem fantastic. I have not set up an m2 mini yet.

Don't exaggerate. You are not a child. You can think for yourself while watching their videos.
And if you were mind controlled in any significant measure, you would not have freely posted this question here.

No, not at all. I think it's one of the worst tech channels ever made.
