I didn't like their style of presenting, but as of yesterday YouTube has taken down The BrickShow's channel:

The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.

Word on the street is that this is due to several videos showing confidential images and set news in the recent past. They have 450k subscribers - I do hope their account gets reinstated at some point because they did cover older sets that Jang doesn't review.

On the subject of Jang, he recently detailed why he doesn't review everything. Reason #1 was surprising to me:

Eyyy I haven't forgotten about LEGO Friends!  I have to dramatically cut back on my coverage of the line (and its offshoots) due to:

1. YouTube's aggressively antagonistic algorithms that ruthlessly punish not only videos that under-perform relative to others on a given channel, but other videos that follow as well.
2. The overwhelming volume of products LEGO now releases every year, forcing me to either work an unhealthy amount and review everything, or be selective and live a manageable life.
3. A personal lack of interest in many of the past year's Friends & Elves sets.

At least #3 has been pushed to the side now with the new racing-themed lineup, so while being mindful of #2 I have decided to review at least a couple of the latest Friends products, maybe more if I get the chance.
