    MKBHD just signed on to “start making actual products” with accessories brand Ridge.

    We’re increasingly seeing YouTubers try their hand at product development. It’s a logical next step in expanding income beyond YouTube ad revenue, and now Marques Brownlee is joining the fray.

    Today he announced that he’s joined the board at Ridge, an accessories company best known for wallets, and will also become the brand’s “chief creative partner.”

    So, how are things looking in your area? Has this totally messed with your day? Is a disruption like this enough to get you thinking about switching providers?

    People have very strong opinions about Fujfilm’s latest camera.

    The Fujifilm X100VI is here, and as our own comment section and any number of Reddit threads can demonstrate, there are a lot of takes on this camera. Is it overhyped or a worthy upgrade? Are those film simulations good enough to choose Fujifilm over competing cameras from Sony or Nikon?

    Here’s Becca’s quick rundown on what’s new with the X100VI, and stay tuned for our full review in the coming weeks.

    Roku has crossed 80 million active accounts.

    This afternoon Roku announced that it has surpassed 80 million active accounts. The company also said that customers streamed over 100 billion hours of content last year — the first time it has crossed that milestone.

    Not bad when you consider that Roku hasn’t even released any new streaming gadgets recently. That lineup has been relatively stagnant while the company focuses on its self-branded TVs, with new, more premium models due this spring.

    It’s been quite some time since Amazon shared data on how many people are actively using its competing Fire TV platform.
