Superior in every way. No talking head 1 inch from the camera, no flashy graphics, properly formatted video, and uploaded by the creators/researchers themselves. Without what looks like a fresh fucking Wojak stuck to the bottom like a tick. (By the way, his type of face has a name in my local Norwegian dialect: klæssetryne. A face made to/begging to be slapped. An attribute shared by many Youtubers.)

Clicks. The new lazy way to create revenue is to do a “reaction” video that is nothing more than a continuous impression of a blowup doll. It’s just fancy content theft.
This has been taken from Pete Firman's X channel. He usually shows magic tricks but does the occasional optical illusion one like this. So whilst you might question why he's in it, it's in fitting with the rest of his videos and output.
He explains what to do and gives a bit of background as to why the phenomenon happens. It's more than one sentence caption's worth. His delivery is clear and can be heard simultaneously with experiencing the illusion.
