More than likely it would always spin fast if you simply let it spin


No, it's back to normal again. Cleaning it out was the fix.

I remember when the brake feature was a selling feature on the newer
models. ;~)


The brake's not needed if designed properly. It's all about the proper
balance. I'd bet that an engineer figured that out at some point.




After removing the pad on my PC (and seeing the broken belt), I thought
that there had to be a better way, this is a really lame way to control
rotation.
