Moist Critical’s whole channel really is just “Hey you know that thing everyone is already talking about and you probably also decided you hate? Well here’s a description of the thing and why it’s bad.”
And then he repeats it four or five times. I love the guy, but I've noticed he's a little repetitive. Like, he just goes on with the same point several times? It's noticeable how he talks about the topic of his video several times during the video.
The biggest issue is that 5G is very easily blocked by objects, including humans. It's unavoidably very hard to get a strong stable signal in crowded places. In my humble opinion, the extra speed just isn't worth the trade-off 🤷🏼
If that would be true I'd not be getting excellent zone in my concrete jungle. You're thinking of short-wavelength (mmWave) 5G which is rarely used (mostly in dense population areas like event venues), but most utilized towers run on similar frequencies as 4G.
EDIT: Just gotta flex abit and say when I upgraded my home network from 4G to 5G, I went from ~50 latency to ~30, speed went from 150 to 700. Same cost (26eur, unlimited) with no downtimes whatsoever. Happy 5G customer here.
Well maybe it's not the blocking then. But my experience has been getting 5G signal for 3 seconds, my video deciding to up the streaming quality to 4K, then losing the signal and the video buffering for 5 seconds as my phone regrets its choices.
Having set it to prefer 4G I no longer have any issues.

I prefer the youtube channels where the person somehow talks about a single tweet for ten minutes. And gets twenty million views.

Same when cellular drops to one level below the current top of the line for consumers. 5G plus? Decent. 4G and lower? Fat shit through a funnel.

Nah 5G is too unstable.

Wait until you experience 5G UW, then you'll be begging for the stability of standard 5G

Maybe they'll finally fix it with 5G UwU!

Quick, throw your phone away, it's burning! Why are you still using a Galaxy Note 7!?
