These people have too much money. These 'extreme' durability test things always get me especially if it's a rare, thought after item.

I get putting it into the dock 1000 times to see if the screen will scratch, but willfully destroying hardware just pisses me off. That said, apart from the left joy-con that Switch looked pristine afte the fall. Lucky it didn't land on the screen either.

These guys do this with hundreds of devices to test which survive and which don't.

And that makes it better how? There's entire channels out there dedicated to putting brand new hardware into BBQs and see what survives, but I can't help but find that very indulgent.

A 1000 foot drop is not a durability test that resembles any real life situation, neither is putting a Switch in your BBQ. This helps consumers in no way and is purely made for entertainment.
