Went up a few days ago but Youtube only just recommended it to me. Language warning.
It's a good watch and makes some good points, although I disagree with the overall view that it's outright impossible to remove yourself from who made a work solely because brands are a thing. I don't really think just by nature of having access to other works from someone or from that person having a Twitter account means that every single person who consumes media looks into all of that with it being impossible to avoid doing so; the whole thing kind of feels like she's imposing a tendency for some people to look deeper into paratext on all people without room for those who do otherwise.
Also the repeated use of the old-school instructional video presentation was a really bad idea. The audio quality dips way too much at those points and it isn't really funny, it's just kind of distracting.
