The tone and delivery of most YouTube essayists is sooooooooooooo didactic it's infuriating

Why am I thinking about this stuff so much? Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So I loved Taylor Swift's Miss Americana documentary, but I want to apologise for an article I wrote that appears in the film, and give context for its headline, which I did not write.
