Lack of context is just annoying, and seems to imply the OP cares not if they waste people's time.

And while I'm here, please also:
1) trim off the query string "?s=21" on tweet links
2) use "its" for the possessive case
3) provide some text as to what a video has and its length

Gesh, this was really cathartic lmao

Cheers and HNY my fellow Libtards
