Technology isn't fun anymore
The video discusses the frustrations of modern technology, specifically the TV feature "motion smoothing" that makes movies look unnatural. The host shares a personal experience of watching a TV show on a friend's expensive TV, ruined by this feature. They also express disappointment with streaming services, like Netflix, which have become unreliable and expensive. The host feels technology has lost its excitement and innovation, now focusing on profit and controlling behavior.
