I could be wrong, but I got the feeling that there has been a drop off in unboxing videos. That's not to suggest unboxing videos are not created; I see them in roadtest reviews. But I'm thinking there are less of them as opposed to 3 or 4 years ago.
Perhaps it's because unboxing videos are best utilized for a development or eval board, and not for things such as discrete components.
Just to gauge your opinion, I created a "finger-in-the-wind" poll. I invite you to vote, if you have the time. Of course, you can ;leave a comment to voice your take on the state of unboxing videos.
Thanks.
