What is this horrible suffering people had to endure?
IMO, it was basically all self inflicted anguish due to "someone else is wrong on the internet" syndrome.
If someone wants to gamble their money away, you don't have to care. If they want to talk about it, you don't have to listen.
People act like living in a world with people who act differently was some kind of ordeal. they have totally lost the ability to not engage with topics they don't enjoy, and then take joy in the pain of others.
The billions of Dollars taken by people not understanding it from the cryptobros.
Lots and lots of people didn't just lose 'play money'
I get that not everyone wants a dense information-packed how-to video - and indeed, a lot of DIY creators (Colin Furze, for example) seem to have gradually trended away from this style over time. It may therefore be that trying to please the Youtube algorithm ('all hail the algorithm') can drive video producers in counter-intuitive directions, but I really hope that this is an outlier trying to boost their video length, and not the sign of yet more things to come.
