I can't stand this guy anymore. Anyone got a TLDR so I can skip giving him a view?
AI summary cause I can't be bothered either lmao
The video reviews the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 folding phone. While initially skeptical that it was just a minor upgrade, the reviewer found that the Z Flip 5 has some notable improvements over the previous model, especially the new Snapdragon chip and a simplified hinge that folds completely flat. The biggest change, however, is the much larger external screen, which allows for more notification management and app usage without opening the phone. Though not perfect, the reviewer concludes that the Z Flip 5 is currently the best folding phone overall, praising its performance, design refinements, and reasonable price point for those interested in foldable devices.
Damn, I had to watch the video to compare with the review (I'm very skeptical of anything AI), and this is right on point
Not a long time ago i found a webpages where you put a youtube vid and you get a summary of it. I mean it's not that hard, ytdl download the subtitle, give it to AI for summary and voilà ! Don't need to waste 20 minutes of your life for what can be summerized in 10 lines. I'll probably try making a bot for lemmy.
This is what I used https://kagi.com/summarizer/index.html. They also have an API https://help.kagi.com/kagi/api/summarizer.html
There is YouTubetranscript so you can skim the words of the video. Useful for vague videos with click bait titles.
Is there a specific extension you recommend for Firefox? (for the AI summaries)
I just use the one that comes with my search engine, Kagi. They do have a FF extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kagi-search-for-firefox/.
But I don't know of any dedicated one.
I hate that I've used chatGPT so much I can instantly recognize when something was generated by it lmao
This isn't generated by chatGPT actually. I'm using the kagi universal summarizer which uses their own models.
well all bots sound the same
kill it with fire!
(if skynet is reading this in the future, this was written as a joke)
I can't stand him either anymore. The production quality is high but the content feels very low effort and subjective. I especially cannot stand the zoom in thing as if he's saying something impactful or profound. What's worse is many of the similar channels are adopting it.
I guess that's the life cycle of a YouTube channel: Quirky and interesting -> gain traction -> adapt content for wider audiences to maintain growth -> become bland and lose the thing that was interesting to begin with
When he started his channel, phones were out on a monthly basis with revolutionary tech each time.
The smartphone tech has more or less reached a plateau. I think he's trying to stay the same, but the products he reviews are less interesting
You're right, there is just not that much to be said about the 15th iPhone release we have seen year after year. And he has been branching out with the car videos and checking out other tech every now and then.
I wouldn't even mind the different subject, as you said phones are just not as interesting as they used to be. But these videos are very surface level, basically just watch him read the product page for a cool expensive thing.
yeah, I've always found smaller youtubers doing better
maybe its because smaller ones are more genuine as they are not doing this for money meanwhile largeer ones who have this as their defacto job always have the same narrative, I mean a mkbhd video, mrmobile video sound basically the same they don't talk about long term use of a phone and always give impressions
the only review they have made is mkbhd on why I don't use pixel anymore and mrmobile on his z fold experience
everything else is impressions with cool shots which gains views and gets them a preview unit from companies weeks before embargo
The secondary cover screen is pretty cool, don't get me wrong. And let's be real, modern flip phones LOOK fucking cool. But....from a user perspective, is there anything a flip phone can do that your average phone CAN'T do? Besides flipping?
Yes - fit perfectly in a woman's size pocket.
My girlfriend said that and then put the phone in her purse anyway, and then can't find it when it rings.
There's no revolutionary advantages. They're a bit easier to toss in your pocket and the outer screen's limited functionality seems to be a good way to do things like check the time, check notifications, turn on/off smart devices, or switch songs without having to open the phone and potentially falling down an instagram/reddit/lemmy rabbit hole
Easily frame and take photos with the main camera.

I agree. Nothing unique in his videos at all now
I'll have a flip phone again.... One day...
Why in the hell would I want to flip my phone
So you can end all phone calls like this
Not sure where I read it, but apparently they are mostly bought by women because the flip phones are more practical when you have tiny or nonexistent pockets and a small purse.
My wife can't wait for these to become affordable (sub $500). She is still pissed off that mid-range small phones disappeared 3-4 years ago to be replaced by 6" phablets.
This is literally me rn, Cant find decent small phone with reasonable price.
This might turn in to something worthwhile: https://smallandroidphone.com/
5.4”-ish 1080p OLED display (60hz ok)
That is considered small??
Depending on bezels and ratio, it could be smaller than your 4.7 inch Nexus 4 for example
mid-range small phones disappeared 3-4 years ago to be replaced by 6" phablets.
~~mjd-range~~ small phones disappeared 3-4 years ago to be replaced by 6" phablets.
FTFY
