I fucking hate video essays

[snoblomov]

the constant lazy, editorial, sterilized rhetoric. the fake nuance with banal segways and easy platitudes:

“it’s not x, it’s actually y”
“that’s not just x, it’s also y”
“while x may seem like y, it’s really z”
“in a way, x is actually y”
“it’s less about x and more about y”
“in essence y, is just x at its core”

like clockwork you see, it's as boring and predictable as algebra. ai is even more guilty of this no doubt that's the culprit behind this phenomenon.
