I'm gonna wander down OP's tangent a bit... but I feel pretty strongly that Logan is a beautifully written, shot, acted, and paced film that far too few people will see because it's wearing the guise of a comic book movie.

I trust Ben Collins not to lie about that sort of thing and his assessment suggests the redactions aren't sufficient on the victim side of things.
Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

Caveat: I'm typically presenting technical topics in a fixed time window to audiences with variable baseline understanding, so that strategy definitely comes out of different considerations from GMing... but I feel like there's maybe some crossover.

I find distilling things down to an "elevator pitch" (all hook, no substance) helps me figure out which parts of the substance are most important to me to bring back first... and then I can build up layers of substance in order of importance so I can adaptively shift between layers as needed.
