@tnkgrl @Marks_Tech That can probably be explained by teampixel just trying to make their quota. Google is likely paying them to have x number of teampixel people in the program and they gotta hit those numbers to meet their contract requirements. It's a marketing program for Pixel Fans.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@tnkgrl @Marks_Tech But that doesn't mean the program is built for them. It's the same with the snapdragon insiders program or the old HTC Elevate. These are programs controlled with marketing dollars created for the express purpose to build fans to promote a brand.

@tnkgrl @Marks_Tech Just because tech reviewers are in it doesn't mean it's made for them. I was in teampixel when it first started and they bumped me out because I was shifted over the Google press list. I know reviewers are in there because they don't have a direct relationship with Google.

@bencsin That's a design choice to make it look like the other pixel 9 devices. It's not there because it needs to be that way.

@mweinbach Disappointing that we have to wait an extra 3 weeks for the Pro mini. That's the phone I really want.

@Jaime_Rivera You mean I have to subscribe to another channel? Gladly!

@danbarbera @MacRumorsShow @MacRumors So sorry to hear this. Can't imagine how devastating it must be. If you need anything, please let me know.

@thisistechtoday When we see that word in an email, we typically expect some form of compensation for our work, but often the brands do not have a budget or a meaningful budget to work with. They should just be offering products with no expectations, which would likely lead to more coverage.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@thisistechtoday I've had this same experience, multiple times. It's always a disappointment when you can't find mutually agreeable terms, but I've also come to realize that some brands are just approaching things the wrong way when they pitch a "collaboration" to creators.

Always a pleasure being invited to be on the #MobTechCast with @tnkgrl

[Myriam Joire @tnkgrl]

Lots of @madebygoogle #Pixel leaks and @apple #iPhone rumors lately :) Listen to @nickmgray and me as we dive into it all on episode 385 of my #MobTechCast, then discuss the state of #TrueWirelessEarbuds and cover a bunch of news! Remember to subscribe... https://t.co/bljrgK85hR

@bencsin Yeah, especially since athletes have always been forbidden from taking selfies on the podium in the past.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@Snubs The general public has a hard time understanding anything the difference between text messages and iMessage. Not surprising they have no clue about this issue. Most headlines on major news sites were blaming Microsoft. If trusted media can't get it right, we're all screwed.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@andrewmartonik That's a good $150 anywhere else these days, if you're not eating at a low end chain restaurant.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@nirave @andrewmartonik NYC used to have trash bins up until the 80s.

@saschasegan I think every US-based tech site will tell you that they write for the globe, not just the US. English is the international business language and the reach of English language sites is global.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@HeyMarkL It honestly depends on a lot of factors. Personally, I like seeing numbers between 25-50k and get excited with videos that perform better than that. But there are plenty that land lower.

[Nicholas Gray @nickmgray]

@James_Acetate @PicturesFoIder That salary would be considered upper middle class with median income being around $75k for the household. If that's just one person's income, it should be considered upper class income
