Someone commenting "I stopped reading/watching after ..." earns an automatic downvote. No one cares.

  Did you watch the video? The scenario it depicts seems fairly ludicrous and one sided. A section of the article is based on this interpretation, so I think it's fair to question it. To be clear, I scanned the entire video but didn't watch it minute by minute, so I may have missed something. (Different from "I stopped when...") But I'm genuinely curious if anyone knows the context behind whether people asked questions because it really throws the premise into doubt. Would be interested to get OP's take in particular, but I think I'm nested into oblivion at this point. https://youtu.be/vjP22DpYYh8 https://youtu.be/vjP22DpYYh8

    Thanks for explaining the downvotes though. I didn't realize it came off that way, but can understand.

    > Did you watch the video? I did. Your (weird) insistence on critiquing the study as if it was a thought experiment / hypothetical / work of fiction (i.e. a piece where the author is asking you to believe something that's just too unbelievable)... is a reason altogether to downvote.

      The mysterious music and quavering voice over positively scream manufactured drama. I don't think it is just me who would get that impression. In a conversation of 2, it's hard to determine who the weird one is sometimes! ;) What makes you think this was a study? Is there a published work referenced somewhere that I missed?
