   @scifurz @Gigawatt121 I gotta challenge that claim. We've known for years that various media giants have artificially inflated the popularity of online video. At one point, Facebook overstated their video metrics by 80% in order to fleece advertisers: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/24/business/media/facebook-apologizes-for-overstating-video-metrics.html

   And YouTube/TikTok/Insta/et al need to keep video popular, so that hundreds of thousands of people will keep producing free entertainment for them to monetize.

   People aren't demanding video, corporations are pushing it.
