It’s like art generally. Many people go mad about art. Some performance somewhere that is not immediatly about productivity is like the biggest provocation. Not everything makes sense on that axis. People are beyond simple cost/benefit

I wish that was how it worked in music. De la soul using 1% somebody elses song in no way diminishes the original yet it is a massive problem and can block their right to republish the song in any format 30 years later.

Seems gruel to even say this as the tech is pure magic, but sad that these videos often get that ultra processed stockfootage look. I would be more impressed to just have bland everyday videos with muted colors, shaky cam and uninteresting
