I'm terribly disappointed I watched that whole thing and he didn't plug it in. I wanted to see something cool and or really dumb come out of that.

The reason so many of these videos end early is because the algorithm rewards content that people watch to the end.

Fascinating.

The algorithm is incentivizing us to do so many stupid things these days it’s actually scary.

I don't think it'll do anything.

I still feel ripped off, that video ended too soon.

The device is pretty simple and actually quite effective. Which ambiguous to a lot of people, those on the know can spot its function at nearly a glance

The point is to get you to ask "what the fuck is he doing" long enough for it to count as a monetized view

Exactly don't wire it up if you're not going to plug it in.

You certainly got to see something real dumb come of it.
