BTW: these YT wannabes are only growing in number, and the phrase "those who know it the loudest, know it the least" has never been more appropriate to describe them. This doesn't only apply to cars either. Photography, fashion, Investing, gaming, eating, tech - every category has a self-proclaimed expert trying to get more people to "click here to subscribe" while wildly speaking out of school on the subject.

The Dunning Krueger effect is rampant on YT.

So true. The same people that diss on the FRS/BRZ for being slow are the same people that praise the ND Miata as perfect, even though both vehicles are designed with handling over raw power in mind.
