There are actually not many people on YouTube with the appetite to deconstruct and criticise an airline's product, wholesale. Firstly, the viewership is generally young and aspirational and more than happy to believe everything is great; in fact, that's why they watch those types of videos. Secondly, the viewership is generally less affluent than the reporter and don't want to watch someone with money/time etc ..... about flying in premium cabins to New York etc.
Incidentally DanTorp Aviation covered BA's CW seat in a different video very recently:
TRIP REPORT | British Airways Club World/Europe (BUSINESS CLASS) | 777-200 | Madrid to London - YouTube - a completely different style.
Interesting and useful review, thanks for highlighting; it certainly contrasts with the different style.
