It's just an addiction to cause and effect, short form video, long form video, anything that beguiles us from screens. It was always an addiction to cause and effect. Sometimes there's a protagonist to mindread it from, other times there's villains. But mostly it's eye-of-the beholder cause and effect. These are just magic tricks of another sort that beguile us away from the mysteries of correlation and reality. It's a vacation from the intense complexities and deterministic thrust of chaos.
