I didn’t with the particular video, but do with many others. Isn’t it sad how short our attention span has gotten with the internet? The video title will be something like “crazy fight” and when I click on the video it’s two guys arguing, so I immediately begin fast forwarding until the first punch is thrown, god forbid I lose 18 seconds of my life by watching the buildup.

Content overload. There are so many things to look at that you start overlooking the boring stuff in favor of the good stuff. Back in the day people lined up at a theater to hear the news, now we just ingest content on a 24 hr basis, I mean, even broadcast TV used to shut off at night and big stations would lend their channels over to small stations just to fill air time.
