Who this is counted from

Thumbnails open each reviewer's video on YouTube.

How this is counted. One reviewer, one vote per topic — a reviewer who makes six points about sound counts once, so the numbers measure reception rather than talkativeness. Specifications and stated personal preferences are excluded; only assessments and direct comparisons count. A topic appears only where at least eight reviewers discussed it.
