Blunder of the Year 2025 #

These are the videos people hated the most, from least votes to most votes:

Skip Question: 96 Votes

#6: Installing Android on a MacBook Pro - 1 Vote

• It’s not a bad video just not of my interest

#6: A Windows Tablet from 2004! - Sony Vaio U50 Palmtop PC - 1 Vote

• That Laptop Sucks! I Remember That Someone Had That and, Maybe BSOD a Few Times?

#5: Why the LG Wing was an Absolutely CRAZY Smartphone - 2 Votes

• It was more of a review, which I have seen several other times
• Talking about the LG wing which already has lots of videos on YouTube

#4: The Smartest Dumbphone Ever! - Xiaomi Qin F22 Pro - 3 Votes

• I think all you videos are great, but I feel this one lacked a little bit, I didn’t feel the same energy as the other videos and the phone wasn’t all that interesting.
• The phone screen is too small
• Wasn’t very interesting of a topic for me specifically. Though unique, the phone is quite boring as it doesn’t have many of the features consumers would be looking for.

#4: Repairing a $250 M1 MacBook Pro - 3 Votes

• Fairly boring
• Simply not interested in mac content, I find it quite boring
• it wasn’t a big repair

#3: The Best Value Used Smartphone on the Market - Google Pixel 8 - 5 Votes

• it was kind of bland in terms of topic/video idea.
• this phone lowkey sucks ass js get an S23 or iPhone 15
• It’s an already known thing that used flagships are better than new midrangers. And overall I just didn’t enjoy the video that much, but it’s fine, not a bad video
• Idk interesting choice of phone, different style of video
• FUCK the pixel 8

#3: Android vs iOS vs Windows Phones from 2016 - 5 Votes

• just not my preference 🤷
• FUCK the 6 7 meme
• I wish it was probably 2012
• feels like the old tablet video but wierd and not new frokfrdk approved, however second was the 30$ macbook desktop punchline didnt rlly hit with me
• “because windows phone representer lumia 650 is Midrange phone while other is flagship Is cool it you use hp elite x3 "

#2: How BAD is a $99 Australian Smartphone? - Ruio Zip - 6 Votes

• The phone featured in that video is not much different from your past cheap asf phone videos. I feel like I just watched the same sluggish shit again that ain’t worth my time. If you plan to make another cheap ass phone content, then try it with a second hand flagship devices. Much more entertaining and interesting imo.
• Having bought cheap phones myself, the outcome was kinda predictable
• I’s just a bad phone nothing really interesting about it
• Boring video in my opinion, could be better.
• You doxed Jack
• Since you wasted your money on a device that you would probably return but it’ll take days to get the money back in your bank account or smth do more videos takes longer to be up

#1: A REAL Bezel-less Smartphone! - REDMAGIC 10 Pro - 8 Votes

• Wasn’t it sponsored from memory?
• I know the sponsored clips gets you more money to improve the content but these videos don’t seem as fun as the regular ones
• Sponsorships yuck the normal videos are better
• Because it’s an ad.
• I’m not really a fan of high end, modern phone content. There’s so much of that out there already.
• Felt very paid, like an ad.
• because i asked redmagic to give me a free phone and they refused
• It felt like an ad and it wasn’t interesting at all

Video of the Year 2025 #

These are the videos people enjoyed the most! Sorted by least votes to most votes:

#9: Installing Android on a MacBook Pro - 1 Vote

• Because it was interesting and how it worked

#9: Trying to Use an E-ink “Phone” - Onyx Boox Palma - 1 Vote

• E inks are cool

#8: Apple’s Beautiful Disaster - Power Mac G4 Cube - 3 Votes

• entertaining ig, was pretty cool to watch
• Cube
• I’m a fan of how you described the G4 and how you put together the video, I’m also just a huge enthusiast for old macs and Apple in general.

#7: The Smartest Dumbphone Ever! - Xiaomi Qin F22 Pro - 5 Votes

• i just like this phone.
• because a 9key phone is cool that runs proper android
• It’s matching my taste of dumb phones
• Because I Have NEVER! EVER! Seen a Feature Phone, Running Android!
• I like the concept of dumb phones and the design is do cool especially running android too

#7: The Best Value Used Smartphone on the Market - Google Pixel 8 - 5 Votes

• It shows a nice picture on how you can get an amazing phone for a bargain and goes into detail on how the phone works. Since it’s coming from a long term pixel user, it is even better! freshest concept
• Not by production value or quality, but because of the based advice you gave. Despite this being useless for me in a third world country where a USED Pixel 7 Pro is atleast 800$, it’s very good advice for most of your viewers who don’t live in the shithole i live in. In my case i got a Redmi K60 with 16GB RAM, 1TB of UFS storage and a Snapdragon 8+ G1 for about 200$ after tax on XianYu, nothing is beating that, albeit you have to severely modify it to make it usable. Good Used Devices is ALWAYS better then New Cheap Garbage. I am gonna post about it on the Discord when it arrives.
• I picked the Pixel 8 video because it helped me choose an older phone instead of a new one that surely will suck…
• not a topic a bunch of youtubers talk about and sold production

#7: Repairing a $250 M1 MacBook Pro - 5 Votes

• It’s the one I remember the most and it was a pretty solid video
• I picked that video because for me that video is entertaining and at the same time you can learn new things out of it. There are more videos that I’d to select but I can’t you don’t need to know
• (left blank)
• Incredible deal and showing how to fix it. Interesting how cheap you can get an M1 MacBook and make it fully functional. The close runner up was the Android vs iOS vs Windows Phone comparison, that one was great too.

#6: How BAD is a $99 Australian Smartphone? - Ruio Zip - 6 Votes

• Because it has a 2 in 1
• I watched the video because I have it
• This reminds me of Goverment Phones and how poor they are made
• I like ewaste phones i own an a15
• uhh it was interesting
• I like seeing videos that cover low quality hardware. YouTuber SMOOREZ hasn’t uploaded in awhile but he covered similar things, so this video scratched the low cost, low quality phone video itch.

#5: A Windows Tablet from 2004! - Sony Vaio U50 Palmtop PC - 9 Votes

• i like old devices like these……..
• two of them
• I love weird devices that run windows
• UMPCs interest me and the bugged out screen on the broken one was entertaining, and the software exploration segment was something i want out of more of your videos.

• because that my dream phone and how i love you reviewed this
• Because its cool for a phone that failed
• lg phone go brr

• i dont remember
• Phone comparing autism
• nostalgia for this era of phones
• Fun comparison video
• I like time machines.
• I liked very much the 2015 comparison so the 2016 one was even better. You should make these types of videos with smartphones from other years as well (maybe from the wp7 era).
• This is the sequel I have been waiting for. Tech used to be progressing leap and bound now it’s ai ai ai.
• I have had all those phones at one time or another, but as I have them no more, I hadn’t a clue how they were doing. Well this answer my question and it were fascinating!

• cause it fun

#1: Installing Windows 11 on a Surface Duo - 19 Votes

• I think the project was pretty cool and how I did it myself it came out pretty nice
• It reallyade me want to get one as a little portable drive flasher maybe
• Horrible OS on a horrible device made for a horrible OS(not as horrible as the new one on it)
• “Windows 11 on a phone is a cool proof of conceptI think I had a friend on discord who actually used Windows 11 on their phone daily (wasn’t a surface duo)”
• Seeing windows running on devices not intended to run windows will always be funny to me, as well as how well they somehow run it
• Because it sowed me ho much potential the windows 10x surface had
• Because I think it was a very interesting topic
• It was unexpected having Windows 11 run on a Android device, especially a Microsoft one. Really cool video.
• because the surface duo with windows is cool
• I have a hankering for other people doing unsupported and crazy shenanigans on device I do not personally own. The closest runner up was BlissOS on the MacBook, but I’ve done that so it wasn’t anything new
• Because I have always loved touchscreen windows devices
• It’s interesting
• I really enjoy the videos where the limits of older, more obscure or absurd tech get pushed. I discovered the channel while searching for vids similar to Bringus Studios and while a different flavor I still enjoyed the stuff I watched.
• I love the surface duo and I love seeing it get modded and such
• I like it
• It’s a cool concept and should definitely be explored more. Gustave Monce was able to get Project Andromeda to run on the Duo 1, you should check it out. It’s what the surface duo was originally designed to run, Not android.
• Because Iiked it?
• because i liked it more
• Its dumb and genius at tge same time
