One of the weirdest things about the last ~15 years has been watching humans discover ways our own brains are broken via non-stop A/B testing and data. E.g. apparently since the dawn of times what kids really want to watch is disembodied hands opening packages while a mommy voice describes it.
The Reels ecosystem is fascinating, and can't possibly be healthy. Some common themes:
- Security videos of cryptids/demons scaring people
- Impossibly high cliff jumps going wrong
- Impossibly fat people falling over and breaking things
