Featuring Austin Evans
Austin Evans uses an irreverent style in his technology reviews. But make no mistake about it – his reviews and rants are solid, based on personal experience with the products and services subject to his scrutiny.
He is often paired with his sidekick – Ken Bolido – and the two pull no punches when exploring the world of Tech.
While admitting that he is going against his own personal judgement, he forges ahead with purchases that he calls Mystery Tech or participates in auctions with the likes of Amazon, Gamestop, Temu and Shein – just to mention a few of his sources.
Now, Austin tries to be fair. Every once in a while, he stumbles across a real bargain for a quality product. That is what seems to drive him in his willingness to experiment with different ways of buying his Tech. He has a soft spot for items that are Retro – for example, Nintendo DS or other games that may harken back as far as his teenage or slightly later years.
There’s another side to Austin that I have discovered with other YouTube Trendsetters, as well. He is proof that there exists a genuine Tech community – meaning that these YouTubers watch out for one another in meaningful and tangible ways.
In 2014, Austin was the victim of a fire that essentially left him homeless. His apartment burned down to the ground. He faced the prospect of having to start his whole YouTube enterprise from scratch – or even abandon his dreams forever. The YouTube Tech community rallied behind him, giving him both material aid and moral support.
This experience left Austin with a whole new appreciation of life. Here are Austin’s own words:
Austin never forgot what he had learned from his experience. When it came his turn to step up for a fellow YouTuber, he rallied the whole Tech community to help him out in a substantial way. Here again, Austin’s own account:
It is people like Austin who make me proud to participate in the Tech community by publicizing their positive spirit and good work.
