We love reviewing stuff here at The Dorkiest. You could argue that the whole reason this channel - along with countless others - exists solely just to review stuff. But in this episode, we’re going to discuss the “why” of it all. What is the point of consuming reviews? What is the point of sharing them? And what does it mean to be a “professional” reviewer?
