Few years ago I clicked on a video here on DU. I got a 13 minute long video by some nondescript scruffy guy who I later learned was an “influencer.” He spent 11 minutes running off at the mouth and devoted 2 minutes to the actual event.

Made the same mistake again with the same result.

Swore off ever again clicking on a video.
