    The streamer Atrioc recently made a comment about old videos like this that really makes me think every time I see a throwback like this.

    He pointed out how our media consumption has completely changed, and that for many of the most viral videos 10 years ago, people wouldn’t even make it halfway through them if they were posted today.

    “Charlie bit my finger” was so popular but if it had been released today would be absolutely ignored. The actual bite doesn’t happen for 20 seconds which is longer than most short form content

      I mean you had to wait 20 seconds for it to buffer, so you were at least going to give it a fair shot.
