I know you and the team take a lot of pride in the production of your videos, but I honestly wouldn't mind more of these off the cuff videos every once in a while, it's quite fun!
Honestly I enjoy these type of videos
I 100% agree
And the quality was fine, if you ask me.
The quality is extremely good so I was puzzled about the apology.
Even has lighting, video edits, good mic, good camera obviously.
That's sort of auto focus tbh
Hot take: do more of these simple camera talks. This is great.
Fr
This is not hot take
Hot take: This isn’t a hot take, more of these videos would be amazing
That mic is 🔥
🎙
Waveform podcast is just that.
I’m glad that you said 5G is trash right now and crypto is basically gambling. I wholeheartedly agree with this message. Thank you for this format.
It's like a summary of that super long video Line Goes Up.
stocks is already gambling, crypto is like the slot machine of stocks
@@croozerdog stocks aren’t gambling, u can actually do research and find so many reasons to invest in companies unlike crypto which people just invest with only hope that it will go up
@@fatinahmed5406 to me that's like counting cards, it's still a bet. a bet that gets better the more money you have
@@fatinahmed5406 Without insider knowledge you cannot guarantee your success in the market. Even professional money managers, more often than not, will net you a worse return than a market index.
As a non-native English teacher, I learn a lot from watching you Marques. I just love your language man. Peace from Syria.
Such a refreshing sight to see Marques just be himself and talk about the things we love without being stuck to a single theme. I love your professional videos but having these once in a while will be great
I love that even when Marques is delivering ‘hot takes’ they are still incredibly well-formulated and level-headed
Haha I was about to comment - this is the first time I feel like I've seen Marques get a little "hot-headed," and he's still a better presenter than basically everyone else on YT.
🤦♂
What lol? "I like how when he shares opinions he has reasoning for holding such opinions" lol
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed the 5G lags. Thank you for pointing this out. Please do another video on this subject. The government should be all over this. These companies over charging the consumers for a product that doesn’t work or has not met expectations. They’re basically ripping us off
I changed to IINET purely for a cost effective 5G option, was so disappointed with the coverage changed back to Optus 4G within 2 months ..
It’s insane how bad it is my area finally got 5G and it’s incredibly hard for upload and downloads! I ended up switching back to 4G at least then I can get things done within an hour
Yepppppp
I wasnt too bothered about finding a phone with 5g because I just feel like 4g already feels plenty fast enough to me, good to know that I have nothing to worry about then
We need more of these Marques Minutes where we just hear your thoughts and ideas. Instant subscribe.
Bro, a Marques Minute you coined it..
This should go up! Marques Minutes is the perfect title for a new series of videos
Alright Adrian
This kind of video feels accessible to everyone. Old CZcams. Turn in a camera and go. Also clear, concise in straight to the points. It be cool to get more videos like this from you and the rest of your team, because it's like we're getting taken away from the fancy editing and cameras and just hearing your voice. The quality of your work is amazing and we appreciate getting that and please keep that up, but moments like this is also very genuine.
this. Old youtube. I've missed it a bit actually.
Lol you need to broaden your watchlist of youtubers... (wouldn't call it old YT. but I agree with the rest you said!)
Let me grab my popcorn 🍿 for this one.
You dropped some, here 🍿
I knew this guy was based, he's now going to release the secret files, 👍 elon!!!
I used to be an adventurer like you but I took a popcorn to the knee
I just said finally
Yup, 5g sucks - it’s a nothing burger.
In my opinion the panel gap issue is important when factoring in the used vehicle market. Often I find that cars with very inconsistent panel gaps may have been in an accident that wasn’t previously reported.
Build quality is not just panel gaps, though - bumpers falling off in the rain, visors falling off, roof flying off, water leaking in when it rains, rubber trim around the doors peeling away, loose trim all around, mismatched tail lights, rattles inside, seatbelt issues, paint issues, frunk lids barely hanging, etc.
I've been watching you for many years. Thank you for making tech palatable.
Honesty is often more engaging than production or even good writing. I’d watch more of these!
💯
Good to get confirmation on what I've been feeling about the inferior state of 5G!
I moved from a discount carrier to a full fledged national carrier so went between 4G LTE to having 5G access and was was disappointed. Upload is faster but download speeds are comparable. Had I switched to get 5G access I’d have been very disappointed.
Omg yes my 5G is so much slower than my 4G was.
@@jonathanbroughton604 I very rarely get faster speeds on 5G, 4G is almost always on-par with, if not faster than, 5G. The technology just needs to mature more, and that could take years. Years they could've spent on also improving 5G, not just meeting its promises.
@xFrosty Resonance I am a network admin for a fortune 100 chemical company and I work exclusively in the wireless networking arena. Cellular companies have been promising 'Coast to coast 5G!' for years now. But the reality is with these 60-80 Ghz PTP microwave links the nominal range is around 1,000 feet total. This will require a 5G asset to be installed every thousand feet approximately to get true RF cellular propagation of the 5G kind. With 5G I would expect nothing less than 1000 Mbps. However unless you are directly in front of a 5G asset...or have line of sight with that gateway impeded...your speeds will dramatically decrease. These companies have small pockets of 5G hardware spread across the country. This is how they make thier nonsensical claims of 'Coast to coast 5G'. The reality is less than 10% of the country is being blanketed by 5G wireless RF signals. The sheer cost of getting upwards of 50% of the country covered with true 5G will cost more than 100 billion dollars. Consumers will not come close to true 5G wireless propagation until at least another decade from 2022.
Yup, it's terrible. I have 5G pretty much everywhere I go now, and it's not one bit better than 4G. 5G is DOA. No way will they ever roll out coverage enough to matter in most places for it...
I’ve been feeling like half of my feed is just losing its mind when it comes to nfts. I totally agree with you! it has *no* use cases and there seems to be no critical thought by heavy investors put into how speculative and valueless it is w/o the hype??? so ty 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 good takes and a fun video format!
The comparison method you used for determining the importance of the panel gaps is so great!
That 5G hot take is very valid. My roommate’s dad is a data engineer and we knew back in 2020 that 5G would be half-baked for a few years at least. I am hopeful, but for rn 4G LTE is still rock solid by comparison.
Telecomunications sucks only in USA because 5G is realy good in others contries
@@hammerandthewrench7924 The availability is one which will grow over time, but another is the wavelength that 5G operates on that also attributes not only to the range but also how it behaves just by being behind something as simple as a piece of paper that can block like half your signal (LTT had a vid on thid as well as MKB) and just the general hurdles that will improve with time as costs reduce and things improve
From my experience, 5G is great, but that is heavily dependent on what phone you have and the antenna inside it. I buy based on antenna and camera, so I get rock solid connections pretty much everywhere
I'm right next to a tower. I get insane dl speeds, but the phone call quality gets seriously affected. It's like talking through a 1980s wally talky. I had to switch my preference to 4G. Also, how do I have less lag connecting in a multiplayer game in the EU, that with someone in my own state? (NJ/NY)
@@attilabodi826 The lag issue will depend on the servers your connection is being routed through. The ones in Europe will tend to be less busy when the US reaches peak hours, so they'll probably be more responsive to incoming and outgoing packets
I'm glad someone's actually talking about how bad 5G is. I switched from a 4G entry level phone to a 5G enabled phone (both with Verizon) and if anything my connectivity has gotten worse, not better. I find I have no service more often, and even when my phone displays 3 or 4 out of 5 4G bars I still can't get basic things to load like a web search or Google Maps.
It's like some phones don't know how to switch back to 4G when on a horrible 5G connection
Verizon’s network is overloaded and my parents often have similar issues. Can’t hardly get calls to even connect now - not enough spectrum for everyone!
most 5G phones are programmed to bias towards the 5G connection which can really hurt when the device isn't testing for signal strength or latency.
A detail that's likely to have changed, since I've been out of the game for a year and a half, is early 5G phones would still send data requests out over 4G frequency then only recieve downloads from the 5G. This would lead to phones failing entirely if one of the frequencies failed as the device wouldn't verify what was happening. I remember my buddies in tech support grumbling about the issue and customers being upset that they couldn't get 5G 100% of the time with their new phones.
Also this is unrelated but some phones implement wifi calling and then when you are not on wifi, it doesn't know how to switch back to cellular like I have to reset it to make calls lol
People tend to forget how long it took 3G & 4G to become stable. It took years of tweaking it. It's going to be the same for 5G. Yes, 5G sucks right now, but it will get better over time. The problem is that big phone companies over hyped that 5G is here, which it is truly not. At this point, it's only in certain areas, and the main fallback is 4G, like 3G was to 4G when 4G was going up. Not to mention, the phone companies still have to convert the 3G towers( which they just took down) with the 5G towers. The kicker is that you still have to pay while your service is crap which the phone companies call growing pains.
Lived in Denmark all my life, moved to Australia 3 months ago.
5G is awesome in Denmark.
But damn, I did not know a modern country like Australia could suck this much regarding wireless and cabled network.
I didn’t expect to miss home due to lack of easy cellular connectivity.
Your insights are always inspiring accountability/responsibility specially for top-performing brands or cutting-edge tech. Thank you!
Tech hot takes should be a series 🔥
Hot takes + Hot wings would be extra interesting 😂
Totally !
this was such an enjoyable video format! if it were an option, i’d happily watch 1 “casual” mkbhd video like this per week for the rest of my life lol
Big fan Japan guy
💯- I feel like this is a tiny sample of what it would be like to have MKB as a buddy who you invite over to chill. I love it
@@dgpsf false
Totally agree
Yeah, casual videos are great!
Enjoyed the talk, 1st time listening to Marques, Man seems to be knowledgeable and thoughtful, and has an enjoyable delivery. I saw the title, listened through everything so I could get to "why" 5G sucks ... Yes, I was expecting complaints without any understanding of the real technical reasons why it sucks, but he's got it, so good on him.
i love the hot takes, keep it up!
Absolutely agree that 5G sucks right now. While I almost always have a 5G symbol in my area, there are places where it shows 3-5 bars…. But I can’t even make a phone call or send a text unless I switch to 4G.
I feel you, I will literally have full bars but no internet, it pisses me off and always do it at the worst times
Good god where the fuck do you people live?!! I haven't ever had this issue with my current carrier Verizon, but my prior carrier was AT&T and it did have these kind of issues so there's that. AT&T is nearly a full year behind it's rollout plans and definitely the last of the three in their perspective 5G deployment.
@@SteveLauterbachJr I live in Philly; it’s more a problem away from the city. I’m also on T-Mobile. Verizon tends to be ahead of the curve
@@DoctorX17 Verizon 5G was something else. Switched back to T-Mobile because I thought it was better everywhere, and I regret it. I'm going back to verizon even its it's 50% more. The reliability is insane.
@@existentialrap521 there’s a reason they’re America’s number one network… my family sticks with T-Mobile because it works fine and we get a REALLY really really good deal because we’ve been customers forever
"You open it, scroll a few times - and then close it"
Yes, this is definitely how I use TikTok. I do not sit on the sofa for over an hour scrolling endlessly. No, just 2 minutes. Just a couple of videos. Yep. Everything perfectly under control here, thank you.
I thought the same thing when he said that lol. Thats why I deleted TikTok and will occasionally with watch a few YT shorts if I’m short on time.
I agree. If someone is watching content from TikTok they are spending less time watching content on CZcams.
Loved this one thanks Marques, great hot takes 🙏

He started this channel all by himself, ran this channel for a couple of years all by himself and then a person by person he built his team for literally every little task except him being the guy on the camera but then he shows us all that he still is capable. I don't mean to say that he's all of a sudden rusty now but he's good man, he is what a creator should be. I love this man 💖
Simp? 🙃
Simp?
Simp?
Is this a proposal?

Love that you brought up how bad 5g is. When I first got my fold 3 I turned off the 5g. Somewhere down the line either Verizon or Samsung hid the option to disable it and now I wander around on 4g while my wife struggles to get signal just feet away from me because her phone is still trying to pick up 5g. The fact that companies were charging more for 5g enabled phones when it first came out is insanity now looking back on it.
Try the samsung band selection app in the play store. I have a spot in my house that jumps in and out of 5G service so I stopped using it completely. 4G is still way faster than I need
Having 3-4 bars and no usable internet connection is an almost daily occurrence on 5G. It’s like it’s always lying.
Idk I have 5g on Xfinity mobile and it works great for me 🤷♂️
I've used every carrier's service that actually owns the towers: AT&T UYW Elite and FirstNet Extra, T-mobile MM, and Verizon's Get More. All three are comparably priced, offer similar features, and most importantly, are the Flagship of 5G for its respective service outside of subsidiaries or leased infrastructure users. My biggest takeaway is that 5G is always an issue of coverage. Sure I'll get ultra wide band here with Verizon, but 30 feet to the left, and it's gone. From what I've gathered, AT&T is more reliable and widespread, even if it is a bit slower. Tmobile had considerably worse coverage than both, though calls always seemed to work. honestly, if you could just have one device that allows you to utilize your number on all three company's towers we'd be significantly closer to the 5G experience we were promised.
@@jake3523 Google fi can do that
It’s amazing how high quality Marques’ videos are even at home
I care about the panel gaps...
Hearing "forgive the production quality" while I'm watching a 4K video with good audio is why I love your content, work ethic, and attention to detail. Lol
If only Tesla had the same attention to detail. (Couldn't resist)
@@automan25 🤔🤨
This kind of video style reminds me of the early days of this channel when things were simpler. I don't mind if you had more of these.
I love and respect you and your work a lot, but I haven't seen a video of yours in a while and I'd be happy to see more of something like this
great complement to your usual production style. keep 'em coming!
I’m not sure why so many creators think that over-produced, glitzy, hi-tech videos are the way to go. I’m in it for your basic clear audio, basic clear camera angle, and thoughtful and engaging minds sharing ideas. It’s the personality, articulation, and content that surpasses the rest. This video is just as good if not better than any other.
Take care, and hope you’re back on your feet soon. Thanks, too, for treating the virus responsibly.
It’s because of sponsors and such. The flashier the vid, usually the more viewers, ad revenue and sponsors you get. Unfortunately most care about the look and production of the video vs the information given in it.
If you use any degree of critical thinking, and watch youtube even a little bit, then you know why creators chase higher production value. Don’t be obtuse.
I think they want to compete with companies like CNET and The Verge. They don’t want to be seen as just “CZcamsrs,” but “serious” tech channels with sophisticated content. I don’t really care for it, and I think they could save a lot of money…
are you a creator? of anything? perhaps you have a hobby?
Once you get good at making something, part of the joy in continuing if making your next thing better and better. This happens in photography, pottery, sports, education, etc.. Well that's what happens with CZcams. You make a video, and you always want your next to be better, in all ways possible.
@@brixan... I agree with you. A click is a click. I’m here for the creators personality and takes. Half the time I’m in Picture in Picture and not even watching the graphics.
Always down to listen to some spicy tech takes 🔥😎

@@Boozer42069 🥱
@@Boozer42069 the fact he didn't even mention the hype culture around Teslas being the reason why people buy them is dumbfounding lol
@@ch.illmatic are you sure he didn't already cover that? I mean, he's done quite a few videos on Teslas.
As a worker in the car manufacturing industry it’s crazy how often we are checking for panel gaps
I agree 100% with all the mentioned points but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the coexistence between instagram and tik tok. Nice video btw. Keep up the great work.
You continue to prove that great content doesn't require an extensive production studio ( Even though you have one) . I truly appreciate these more candid videos.
This video had a ton of editing though
No, it's the other way around. coz this is mkbhd's video, anything will be great content. if I were the one to make this kind of vid, the view count would be Zetro.
@@nom2xan So true because he has millions of followers and every of his mistakes will be accepted.
@@sixninety0 2nd you. Its not hate speech, I luv and enjoi mkbhds vids.
@@nom2xan Well said. Even if one matched the quality of his videos exactly, there are only so many people on youtube that are watching tech review channels, and the channel that already exists will have more name recognition.
I love the way Marques can take a product that I'm emotionally invested in and tell me what's wrong with it, AND for me to have a positive reaction about what he's saying. That takes some real skill and charisma to pull it off.
Which product are you talking about per se?
i dont comment much on ur vids but; ive been watching ur vids since 2015 when i was 13, im now 20 and still a fan of yours. hope you get better soon man, i havent tuned into your channel in what feels like a year now, but you're always refreshing to come back to. covid aint got nun on you stay strong broski. also, i agree with all ur hot takes coincidentally, good points made.
covids a joke
More of these please and thank you
Just upgraded to my first 5G phone (iPhone 14 Pro) and I can’t even tell the difference. Sometimes my connectivity on 5G even feels worse. That’s what drew me to this video.
eh I'm running around this thread explaining this but basically 5G on lower bands is mostly just better connection security. Basically networks can run more devices with fewer dropped calls with the devices needing to resend requests less often creating marginal speed increases.
Your 5G connectivity depends on where you are and what band the network has deployed for the 5G connection. When i worked for a carrier I used to be able to load up a signal map and actually see which frequencies were graded the best in different areas (don't pester most cell workers about it, the tool is niche and unless they're particularly nerdy they won't open up about things that are difficult to read)
Me too, just upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro and 5G doesn't feel any quicker than 4G. I have definitely noticed a decrease in battery life, to the point where I have disabled 5G on the phone for now.
its bad because.... your 5G network isnt really 5G and it is second tier 5G equipment because you are USA and you decided that no one can use equipment made by someone who can make them better than you can so you ban them? lol
It can be worse. We had it turned off until 5G UW was activated. That’s really good
I am truly surprised that someone thought that 5g was going to be awesome. Maybe at stadiums and closed buildings, but not more than that
This is like old school MKBHD and I loved it. Wish more of your videos were this casual, non-fancy style.
Excellent video as always. Very informative. As in most things 'tech'. Whenever there is something introduced - tech-wise - these companies shrewdly market them, hype them and give you all of the benefits of them long before they come out. This 5G is no exception, as with graphics cards, USB transfer speed ratings and other assorted products and services, for example. These things look and sound, great 'on paper', but usually don't deliver on the 'hyped' promises for a long time after their introduction. It's kind of sad, but this is the way of things for at least 30-35 years now. These are the 'cards' that we are dealt....Grazie. Keep up the good work MDBHD. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch!
Diggin the vibe!! And nice hot takes!
I absolutely adore your regular EXTREMELY high-production videos, but I definitely wouldn't mind more regular videos like this!
Same!
That's how you know the content is good. All he needs, really, is a mic.
Your content, your words, your opinion is what is more important. Microphone, lights or background is just and add on and the main value is in the content. You persona and the delivery is what makes me watch your videos. Get better soon. 👍
Just like the panel gaps on the Tesla!
This was good to watch. i need more please
Viseos like this are just pure gold
This man really made a better-quality video than a lot of youtubers with anything he had at home. BTW the yeti mic might not be much of a talking mic and more for gaming, but it sounds GREAT.
the yeti is actually marketed as a podcast mic these days
As a “regular person” when it comes to cars, I feel like if I got a car and it had panel gaps, I would be worried not about the gaps themselves, but about other potential unseen build issues that could actually pose a safety risk. Quality control is pretty important in cars.
Panel gaps were explained to me as a quick reference for build quality. If the gaps are even they built a reliable car. With electric cars the reliability should be so much better that panel gaps are less of an indicator, but it’s still a glaring issue because why wouldn’t they try to improve.
A person should care about panal gaps and general build quality when you are paying 100k for a car.
i think i agree with every single point, glad to hear your takes
Nice video, sir. First time I’ve seen your work.
Honestly, this production quality is still top tier and wouldn't mind more of these kinds of videos!
And I share in the frustration with 5G. I've had way more connection issues than with my previous phones that used 4G.
I turn off 5g, and force my phone into 4g. I also screwed myself when I purchased a 5g wwan for my laptop which I can't turn off 5g. Wish I paid much cheaper for the 4g only card.
Except for the audio pops. A pop filter would fix that
This dude must be a blast to be friends with bro. Id love to be talking about all sorts of tech stuff with him.
Yeah it’ll be great to talk about Tesla panel gaps with the amazing insight that “people still buy Teslas” amazing
@@roberthardy5171 Right, because that is the only thing MKBHD has ever talked about. 🙄

Always appreciate listening to a well spoken, bright young man.
Lovin' the intro music!
"5G sucks" wow me and my brother were literally talking about how much better 4G was compared to 5G, even the transition from 3G to 4G seemed seamless. When I showed him this video he said "I feel seen" 😂. Thank you and get well soon!!!
Me and MY brother were also just talking about this. I was telling him at this point i wish the government was spying on me with it or whatever the conspiracy was because at least it would be doing something!
Bro I walked into t-mobile and told them 5G sucks right out and they tried to convince me if I were on the magenta plus plan it wouldn't be this terrible like I'm not paying them enough for the magenta plan itself. Clearly, they haven't got this one yet
Dude these types of videos are so easy to digest, I absolutely love this format.
I love videos like this! As I can see, more people do :)
Sorry to hear you've been caught by the virus - I was silently 'proud' that I'd avoided it since day 1 but it caught me back in September, so I know how you feel!
Completely agree on all the points you raised - it's just common sense I think, something which seems to be becoming less 'common' as time passes! 🤭
@stepheneyles2198 - You are better off catching COVID at least once and building up some immunity. Stay current on all of your shots!
As others have said, you should do more of these. The production quality is fine, just like panel gaps most folks probably don't care (that much).
Also +1 on 5g. I've forced my phone back to 4g many times and had a better/faster connection.
Yeah, I just disabled 5g permanently months ago and haven't looked back.
same. I just use 4G/LTE now regularly and my data speeds are much more consistent.
5g in my city is a joke I just use 4g/lte now
most folks don't care because they either have no idea about it, or thing the panel gaps themselves are the issue and the issue is wholly cosmetic. Panel gaps are a symptom of the problem and if consumers understood the problem, they'd care. It's all about what information the consumer has (and not in a "well the information is easy to find, you just had to look for it, so stop complaining about the mistake you made" type way because people still needed to know that they had to look it up)
I'm gonna try forcing back to 4G for a few weeks. I get inconsistent 5G speeds at my work and don't know if there's a difference.
I think we would all love to see more off-the-cuff videos like this! Made me miss the monthly Ask MKBHD vids!
This…a lot of times CZcamsrs will step up production, gain more followers, step up production, gain more followers and cycle continues. Soon their videos becomes almost movie quality and well planned. But I miss the casual vlogging, one cut, type from them. Cause they become more human again

It's so nice to see MKBHD back with just himself and a camera for a video. Heck, I'm convinced he's actually still using his HP Pavilion dv7t's webcam to record this video. Exceptional HD quality Marquess. Exceptional.
this would make for a great series
12:00 Thank you! Anytime I have network connectivity issues with sites not loading or apps not syncing, I can sure enough look up at the status bar and it's guaranteed to be showing 5G.
Everything you said about 5G is accurate. It is slow in buildings and I have found out that my iPhone 10 works better than my iPhone 12 for internet browsing and is more consistent. I am praying that 5G technology does find its areas to improve in over the next few years.
I get gigabit 5g in my apartment. Right now just sitting here in the middle of a brick and concreted building. No idea where to nearest antenna is.
Surprised the coverage is so good.
@@ChristofferLund if you're home data speeds shouldn't matter lol
So true at least I work from home 🏡 and in wifi 🤷🏻♂️😀
You can always just switch to LTE on the newer phones to get the more stable service.
It just depends on your carrier and what type of 5G technology they currently have deployed on their network. Verizon 5G is super fast when you get it and within line sight of the tower. T-Mobile has slower 5G 500-600mbps but is able to support those speeds a lot further from the tower then Verizon. My home internet is 5G and so is my phone and I’m getting 400mbps is a rural part of Illinois.
Cool video. I like this style of simple talk and updates. A hot/personal takes video is a nice idea that you can even repeat every now and then due to the constantly changing tech world. It's nice to sit down and talk about this stuff in a wide scope instead of complicated talk. I agree with pretty much all your points as well, especially the crypto and 5G points.
Def love this. I enjoy seeing him in the "streamer" setting. Makes him seem more human and not just a voice behind the screen lol
You sir are the most sensible person I ever heard talk about crypto. I am annoyed by all my dev friends getting sucked into the crypto crap and me having to defend refusing putting any money in it.
This was an amazing video! Usually when I watch your videos (despite your personable nature), I always feel a little... out of the picture if that makes any sense. But hearing more about your personal opinions is awesome and is personally helping me develop my own and ask myself more questions. Thanks M, appreciate it man
Yea like nowadays his usual videos are like sales pitch type... Doesn't feel like genuine like it used to be before. But this video brings back that genuine opinion of his workout any fancy stuff
I think the Panel Gap Issue comes down to "If they cannot fit the panels, where else will they have quality issues?" Espacially because it is not that hard to do, given the right tooling.
You're 100% right. When even the stuff that you can see with your naked eye is sh*t, then how does the rest look like?
That's a great point!
If you want to highlight this point , just point out what is actually of poor quality. Going "If this is bad what about all the other things" isn't a good way to get your message across.
This really floored me, they are so badly made, they are not a realistic option for anyone I know in Europe who isn't a zealot.

Good on you for being responsible. I'm not making this a COVID take, but it would be nice for jobs that are flexible to allow employees to work remotely when under the weather; especially during their peak infection/contagious period.
And another great video!! Hope you fully recovered. Thank you for a reality check on tech for some of this year :)
Please do more of these! It was so refreshing to see a more "personal" video from you, displaying your own personal opinions. Do it bro
Off course! AOR4T
What's that?
Guys, this is a bot. Please report it!
Hey Marques (and chat), if you don’t mind, what kind of Yeti Microphone is that? Just curious, it sounds great, might purchase one this Holiday Season!
OMG you had me at Panel Gaps! I literally had to stop the project I am working on to comment here, because FINALLY somebody calls this panel gap obsession out. Regular people don't care. Completely irrelevant. You know what regular people also don't care about? Their cars being tested at the Nurburg Ring. Nobody but the enthusiasts want a stiff as f suspension on a car has sub mm panels gaps. Lol. Thank you!
Really enjoying this format... I hope you do more of these
I would love to see a video like this every month with more recent hot takes !
Please do these more often!
The more videos I see the more I respect this guy. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great takes!!! And great video!
Also, it was really kind of nice to see an old school style MKBHD video where he's just talking to us with a microphone and a camera pointed in front of him, with an occasion cut to a clip or a webpage of course. Very early to mid 2000s if I'm accurate.
1:26 FINALLY somebody said it
1:39 seeing the future isn't (or shouldn't be) about seeing all the positvies. But seeing it sober and clear headed, and picking through all the corporate BS. Thinking how these things will actually affect us. Not just the good stuff it *could* bring. But the bad stuff too
I’m working on getting the towers up for you guys but like you said, there has to be SO many and I have to get fiber to every one. Most of the time I’m looking at an antenna when I set a new one up.
Honestly, this production quality is still top tier and wouldn’t mind more of these kinds of videos!
Why are you eveywhere?
@@CobraHigh she's desperate. Nothing original in the comments just copy what most other people are saying, make it worse, get some likes, get to the top of the comments and hope people click on her channel.
I hope you make more videos like this. Even if it isn't hot takes but plain analysis or opinions of specific things you're interested in, this is a simple, easy to make, entertaining to watch video and as you can see in the comments, a lot of people thing so.
I agree with most of your views. Greetings from South Africa.
Production quality is great BTW.
Happy Birthday MKB.
HAVE a rocking year ahead
@@l4g good luck with me ☻️
@@l4g might take a lot of effort

I have to say, I enjoy listening to you talk about things more then I care about the things you usually talk about. I like to find out about new tech, it's definitely relevant to me, but I don't ever listen to anyone else talk about it (other than Linus). I think it's just because you tend to have a very level headed approach to reviewing these things and it's nice to listen to someone who feels so genuine. You are a wonderful force in this world and I will forever be a fan :)
This reminds me of when MKBHD used to do "Ask MKBHD V (insert number)". What a long way he has come.
This was way better, more upbeat and funny again like the old stuff. Your natural self
