Summary

This was a crazy week for social media apps, but first the gang talks about the Zenfone 10 now that Andrew has had a chance to use it for a week or two. Then they talk about YouTube testing and Twitter implementing a (temporary?) rate limit on the same Reddit officially started charging for its API. After that, it's all about Threads. The new Twitter-clone that that Meta just launched which Marques had early access to for the last few days. He gives his first impressions on the app and talks about what makes it interesting before we end it all with some trivia. Follow us on Threads if you have the app! Links below.

Alright, what is up, people of the internet. Welcome back to another episode of the Wayform

0:10.0

podcast. Rehose, I'm Arquez, I'm Andrew, and I'm David. And we've compiled, we've been

0:14.7

taking notes this whole week about what we wanted to talk about, and it's turned out

0:18.1

this is mostly a social media episode. We have a lot to say about a lot of different social

0:23.5

networks. Starting with Google+, of course, is the hottest one, just kidding. YouTube,

0:28.5

fighting some things, Twitter fighting some things, Reddit fighting some things, Instagram

0:33.6

fighting some things. But first, we want to talk about the Zenphone. You've been actually

0:39.5

using the Zenphone alongside. I have been telling that. I can officially say so I've been

0:42.7

using this for about two weeks now. I want to preface this by saying also, this is the

0:51.2

first non-pixel phone I've used since the Pixel 3. The 3 is when I switched to the Pixel

really quite bright. That's warm. Yeah, yeah, I like it. The green is like a bright,

1:26.4

pine green. Yeah, I've been using the green. I think we kind of were wondering if which

1:30.4

one is going to fade the worst because remember the Zenphone 9 had like a terrible fading.

1:35.5

I do think this back material is going to not fade as bad. They said they made the material

1:39.5

better from last year, right? Yes. Yeah. Actually, I'll just said that. Yeah. So I'll

1:43.2

start by just my like summary of the phone, which is I love the Zenphone 9 shamelessly.
