    Even worse is captions saying what happens. Like it’ll be a video of a baby trying to sit on a chair and missing and falling…and the caption will say “bro missed his chair”.

    Why does a 7 second video need spoilers?

      It’s the attention span shrinking as time goes by.

      I have a brilliant idea actually; a video sharing site with a maximum video length of one second. “How much can you fit in a second? Find out for only $10/month”

        That just made me miss Vine and early Twitter… Attention span be damned, there’s an art to crafting a good joke with a length constraint that I don’t see much on the internet anymore

      That’s up there with the overlay of the “creator” pointing at the spoiler text, needlessly obscuring the actual content.
