Now, they're more like an outdated format the modern world has no patience for. What happened to video essays and social commentary? Also, I become Mr. Beast at the end. Shoutout @nudgely and @hharrin3000 because they're making funny and good video essays. https://chon.digital/ https://soundcloud.com/chondigital https://www.tiktok.com/@chon.digital https://www.instagram.com/chon.digital/ #videoessay #socialcommentary
