  Why have them? What are they?

    Marketing videos, mostly. Ostensibly they’re original videos showcasing some of the talent and content from the previous year. The last couple of years have been particularly bland, though, as I understand it.

    They shouldn’t exist because you don’t know what they are?

      Maybe they just don’t know and are asking for community context.

      How os asking what they are the same as saying they shouldn’t exist?

      I’m so tired of all the bad faith bs on this site.

        Maybe it was my own misunderstanding.

        Why have them?

        If this doesn’t mean, “why should they even exist?” what was it that you meant here? Because that’s what you ask first, before you ask what they are.

  Why? They have a monopoly. They do whatever the fuck they want.

    But why do they want to do that, is the question

      In the past the videos were always shit and people would thus shit on them in the comments/ratings, so it might be to hide how much shittier it’s getting. For example if there is so much generated content that it would take up a chunk of the video, or it might even be that they’ve fired the talent who normally create the rewinds and replaced them with AI, which would be fairly obvious to detect if it was used for this kind of thing because it probably would do a shit job.
