doesn’t saying that when Alec deliberately added a fakeout ending spoil the original intent of the art? Aren’t you tainting arguably the best moment of the video for the person who watches it? The fakeout only lasts a few seconds while Alec stares ominously into the camera, so there’s very minimal chance after an hour watching a thoughtful, argumentative video that somebody’s going to immediately click away. I’m sure he very deliberately thought through a balance between faking people out and people clicking off – one which telling people “watch until the end I swear!” throws out the window.
