YouTube has rolled out a new feature that Marques Brownlee, Andrew, and David consider the platform's worst decision to date. The hosts open with an immediate critique, suggesting the change was not properly tested before launch. The specifics of what broke and why are worth hearing directly from the segment starting at the one-minute mark.
The bulk of the episode covers hardware. Google's latest laptop releases get a second look, Qualcomm's new chips get their own dedicated segment starting at 32 minutes, and the crew highlights a phone they call a legitimate contender for device of the year, with the catch that it will not reach the US market.
The YouTube segment is described as a full crash out, meaning the hosts dropped the professional filter. That candor, combined with the hardware breakdown across three distinct product categories, makes this worth the full runtime rather than just the clips.
