People on the Dinner With Andre "We are prisoners in a system of our own invention that incentivises only chasing superficial entertainment for instant gratification instead of finding meaning and I'm worried this is going to be the future we live in" Speech But There's Soap Carving And Subway Surfers Taking Up Half The Screen video post being like

"Wow, the distracting colourful visuals genuinely helped me absorb the information in the clip that I otherwise would have given up on, this helped so much this is genius." like... I don't think you absorbed the meaning at all!! Maybe you listened to the words and could tell people the opinion of the character in the film clip if you had to answer on a test. Maybe you got the Data out of it, but you apparently didn't connect any of the message being stated by the presentation of the information! What is the post saying by making that particular edit! Text vs subtext vs metatext! Use of media! Subversion of format! You are what the post is about!
