Waveform: The MKBHD Podcas‪t‬ Studio71

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have likely been taking over your news feed in the last few weeks, as they certainly have ours. With an almost Gamestop-esque rise recently, we're seeing more and more headlines about digital assets being sold for thousands, if not millions, of dollars. This week, we take a brief moment to go over the fundamentals of NFTs and then chat with Justin Maller, a well-known digital artist and Chief Creative Officer at DeviantArt, to see the other side of the coin and how NFTs could be truly game-changing for digital artists like him.

This week, we discuss the odd focus issues with the new on-field Super Bowl cameras, the rumors surrounding the Amazon Alexa Command Hub, and a truly crazy four-sided waterfall display Xiaomi smartphone. Then, we discuss the phenomenon of ads on smartphones and how they're rapidly getting worse, as well as a few new Android 12 UI leaks. Finally, we wrap up the show with some news about Audi's new "E-Tron GT" EV and why focusing solely on battery range may be slightly misguided.

Several people asked about our impressive camera shots in the Galaxy S21 review, so we pull back the curtains on how we created our crazy intro and "floating phone" shot. Then, after we finally got our hands on the folding Huawei Mate Xs, we offer our first impressions live and direct! Lastly, we close out the episode with some sweet, sweet Q & A action reading questions from you, our listeners.

We have a ton of 2021 rumors to catch up on as January comes to a close. In typical Waveform fashion, we read some very faint tech rumors and then wildly elaborate on them. The aforementioned rumors include: Tesla Model S/X refreshes, LG and Huawei smartphone deaths, Macbook Pro's resurrection of some old favorites, and Sony's new $2500 smartphone.

Mr. Beast is arguably one of the largest YouTube creators in recent digital history. He literally lives and breathes YouTube and YouTube content strategy.
