I don't even really like my Domino, but I disagree with most of this. The Spyderhole is completely functional and the scale is IMO the knife's best feature. I'll admit the clip does make the knife ride high, and the overly bulky shape of it isn't to my liking, but I'm not sure you're getting good info from whatever review you watched.
Yep, just to add: The Spydehole is totally functional, I can even middle finger flick it with ease...I can slow open, Spyderdrop..All that. Cosmetically, it isn't lined up like the Manix or Tenacious but hey, they aren't flippers.
Like you, I like the scale. It's a matter of taste I suppose.
As for the clip, Im totally fine with it stock unlike the Southards' which I despise (Love the Southard though). It is sort lacquered like the GB and not just painted on. When I got into knives, I was all into low riding clips and realize FOR WHAT? To hide the knife? FROM WHO? Who cares if people know I have a knife. Actually, GOOD look at my knife! Not to mention that it is easier to take out a knife riding higher in the pocket. Be proud, man up. It's a knife, it's a tool... Maybe it's a weapon who cares.
Only things I feel that could have been improved is the blade to handle ratio. I know this is a Spyderco thing and I'm fine with it, but the blade could have been a little longer. Also, the blade could have been narrower to my liking.
Lastly if I believed every youtube video and didn't make decisions for myself...Well, I wouldn't be ME anymore.
