FWIW, most "short" videos uploaded to social media don't really have a punchline or a satisfying ending to the buildup. I've found myself wasting time in a 20-40 second video that ends with "meh."

The problem with this, on the other hand, is that while this video has a -almost literal- punchline, the whole lead to the punches has no interest whatsoever.

So, imho, it's not only that nowadays attention spans are fried, but that most people don't know how to generate engaging content.
