I feel like this would be better if they rotoscope Mark so that the background doesn't move.

Red Hat can't stop you from exercising your rights under the GPL to redistribute the code. You also can't compel them to do business with you. They've structured their support agreements such that if you do exercise your rights under the GPL they will stop supporting you (and decline to offer you future subscriptions).
The value proposition for RHEL is ostensibly support (and a "throat to choke", for whatever that's actually worth). Red Hat's gamble is that no "legitimate" Red Hat subscriber would risk their support entitlement (and the ability to contract with Red Hat for support in the future) by exercising their rights under the GPL.
It's a clever hack. It runs counter to ideals of Free software (and I find it personally repugnant) but it's clever.
Much like GPLv3 was written to counter tivoization, I’d love a GPLv4 to kill what RedHat is doing before they do irreparable the entire free software ecosystem.

Can I patent a self driving car that runs over pedestrians so that I can sue any company whose self driving car does it that hasn't paid me a license fee?
No, Tesla is prior art

They are atomic scientists, so they actually aren't even experts in any of those fields. The risk of nuclear war is a geopolitical question which has nothing to do with the science behind the weapons.
Quite to the contrary, the clock is set by the Science and Security Board which seems much more focused on geopolitical questions instead of scientific. The Science and Security Board is advised by the Board of Sponsors, which does have quite a few scientists, but only in an advisory role.

Problem is they have to keep moving it closer to midnight or they won't get any media attention. This leads to ridiculous outcomes like showing we are currently 5x closer to nuclear war than during the Cuban missile crisis when it was at 7 mins. Not sure why anybody takes this seriously.

It was last moved in 2020 and doesn't appear to move every year. Moreover, it has been moved back in the past. I don't get the impression this is some cynical media ploy but instead an educational effort from some well meaning experts in their respective fields trying to raise awareness and provoke action towards remedying various existential threats, including nuclear war, but also climate change and biological threats.

Why three tho? Use one – Telegram.
I don't think Telegram should really be seen as an alternative to Signal. It doesn't use E2E encryption by default.
If the central banks can keep from going down to near zero interest rates of course.
And I agree with you that younger generations, probably at large due to social media, are not patient enough to get rich by saving.
Speaking as someone in a younger generation, there's a sense that with the climate sword of Damocles dangling overhead and countless people stressing the already fraying hair, perhaps we may not have sufficient time to accumulate any sort of wealth by saving. Perhaps this is just a lack of patience in our generation, but I think it's quite possible there are bigger factors at play.
