Great. Now the Hollywood Reporter has picked up on the weird trend on YouTube of “Explaining” the ending of TV shows (in this case, White Lotus). Has there been a massive decline in reading and viewing comprehension that requires people who have just watched a show to have the plot explained to them? I just saw the thing. I know what happened.

It would be one thing if there were some sort of critical analysis to go with it. But these videos and articles are literally just regurgitating the plot point by point. Do people actually find that necessary?

It’s White Lotus. Not Inception.
