About
You may like this if you want a fast, unsettling look at internet culture turning into real-world consequences, especially if Feels Good Man or Room 237 caught your interest; Not for you if heavy, politically charged docs feel exhausting.
Pros: eye-opening internet history; timely subject; engaging primer | Cons: can feel one-sided; repetitive examples; overwhelming at times
