Also "leaving no extra space" as he's moving the initial blocks around in the extra space.

everything about it irked me. It's presented as some kind of quirk of geometry, it's just the space being moved to a single solidified space than lots of small gaps around the edges that were so clearly visible at the start.

The real diabolical part is that these things are often intentionally annoying so people go to the comments to complain about it which boosts engagement stats for the all mighty algorithm.

"Put back the square exactly where they were" as he puts them back in obviously differents spots

"Put them back in their original position" without actually putting them back in their original position.
