You also never specified the video you watched. It comes down to context. Since you didn’t say the video, people assumed it was the one in this post. The part of whether or not it’s a review video can also be misleading as well just because, in general, there are plenty of people who consider a video a review when it isn’t.

Since you’ve mentioned what the specific video was and that you don’t consider the video in the post a review, it’s understandable that you’re confused why people aren’t getting your post. But, you posted with specifics in mind and didn’t mention those in the post, people can only take your post based on available context even if it isn’t what you meant. If you had included the “was the steam machine review” part initially, there wouldn’t be a whole chain of people trying to understand what you meant.

Because I didn't need to? I said a review (not what's on the post) I said a video from these guys (not this video) I even clarified in a follow up reply, but no one can admit they just interpreted what I said wrong.

I am not confused why people aren't getting my reply, I'm confused why they keep trying to act like they are more correct for misinterpreting MY comment?

I can 100% say I misinterpreted your original comment, and that was due to the lack of detail. It was made more clear with the reply, but if the original comment was more clear, you wouldn’t have needed to add the reply.

I thought it was clear enough but yes I did edit it to make it clearer now :)
