You are a media serf. Got it? You don't own Instagram, you don't own Substack. You till their platforms for ad revenue. When they say jump, you ask "how high" or risk having your account removed. That's the TOS you agreed to at sign-up.

Trust me when I say that humanity will go on perfectly gratified without the existence of gaudy video edits. At the very least, social media would get less repetitive.
