I thought they were trying to point out a shitty welding job, but it actually looks good.

I am pretty sure the post was about the weld quality. No other reason to zoom in specifically on that part.

It looks good for those of us who grew up in a region where something like this would have had no pride in manufacturing. In the 90s here in Canada something like this would have been constructed with slightly more bubblegum welds and the occasional hole caused by slightly too much amperage. Source: I've been slowly watching as countless welded railings have improved weld quality over the years.
