Is my belt tight enough?
I recorded a video, I'm putting moderate pressure on it, pulling with my left hand. The hydraulic tentioner was replaced in January with an OEM unit. Or do I just have a crappy belt on the car?

That looks like yours is stiffer than mine, especially from that angle. It may be the belt or try a 5mm smaller belt, but I don't think you should change the tensioner.

thanks for the verification. It would definitely be suspicious if the fairly new OEM tensioner was already weak

Rule of thumb is you should be able to twist the belt no more than 90 degrees.
