I’ve been following this niche since the early days of viral experiments, and honestly, the shift to hyper-edited shorts is making everything feel so fake. Remember when creators actually showed the failures and the messy setups? Now it’s just 15 seconds of a high-energy "surprise" or a fake juice prank. I feel like the genuine curiosity of testing weird stuff is gone, replaced by whatever gets the most views in 5 seconds. I know it’s the trend, but I’d trade 100 quick shorts for one old-school, 10-minute deep dive any day. Is it just me, or was the original format way more satisfying?
