Who are these "millions" of gamers again? Just because Nexus and Jay's videos have millions of views, it doesn't mean anything. No one's boycotting ASUS, their sales doesn't show it, their stock price is not showing it, infact, 99% of gamers either don't care or don't even know that these issues exist. No one even buys ROG products to overclock them, the majority of gamers just bought into the brand. Less than 2% of PC users overclock their systems. I know you need views, but this video is too long of a stretch.

10:53 speaking of anti consumer practices with their phones Asus pulled the ability to unlock the bootloader of their phones last year. This wouldn't be horrible if they gave 7 years of updates like Samsung or Google but they only give you 2 years of updates which effectively makes your phone useless after 2 years

I think ASUS really let their reputation get over their heads. It used to be that people, including myself, bought ASUS because of their reputation be being built much better, and more importantly, had a BIOS that wasn't absolutely infuriating to use. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, every time I was asked by family to build a computer, it would be the similar combination of Intel/ASUS/Nvidia simply because I could trust that the computer wouldn't end up having any teething issues the moment I handed it off.
It took all the other vendors years before they caught up on their BIOS UI, but they eventually did and that meant that ASUS could only compete on the quality of their engineering if they wanted to command the same premium price.
At this point however, even if they aren't willing to stand behind their products, even the quality of their products is garbage, the reality is that the products they produce are not unique; I can very easily move to another vendor. ASUS has no 'moats' around their products, they have no ecosystem that anybody is locked into, they have literally nothing that stops any consumer from jumping to another vendor. So that's exactly what I have done for the last few years, and will continue doing so into the future until further notice: this isn't me boycotting them, if ASUS is going to produce an inferior product for a higher price point than their competitors, why would any sane person even take their products into consideration?

I have a ROG monitor, top of the line, and came with blocked pixel and very very small piece of dust behind the panel. Luckily I fixed the blocked pixel myself, oldschool, by putting pressure with my fingers on the panel and magically solved the issue. Obviously their Quality Control is bad lately. I owned asus products for almost 20 years, mainly motherboards and never had an issue.

Having built computers for 20 years I don't think I've seen a fiasco as big as the AM5 motherboard barbecue BIOS. With that being said, keeping any manufacturer accountable in this industry is a constant battle. Computers are mindblowingly complex devices and things go wrong all the time on the manufacturer side, but if companies like Asus and MSI don't take immediate responsibility and implement measures in a timely manner there will be trust lost with the consumer.

My dad works on a big graphics design company and he needs a beefy pc to work. I remember him during the pandemic screaming because the connectors on his Asus gpu caught on fire (no kidding) and he lost the thing he was working on. We never got refunded, but he was able to work on an older graphics card until he bought a new one a month later

It takes a lifetime to build trust and a few seconds to destroy it... No matter how big the company is.
