Checked the actual analytics on mine and the morning burst thing is real but it's not the app testing people. It's that 6 to 9am slot is when the most people are scrolling before work, so the app has way more eyes to shove your clip in front of. My dumbest videos always pop off in that window and my "good" ones die at night when everyone's asleep. The catch is that morning crowd has zero patience, so a 12 second clip is basically the perfect length for them.

Oh sure, next you'll tell me Ray also fixed your car and saved your marriage. But honestly that thumb wrap thing is so real it hurts. I did the same dumb baseball bat grip for almost three years and just figured my elbow was supposed to sound like a bag of gravel every morning. My old teacher never said a word about it, which is wild since he watched me swing every single day. The part about the hammer doing the work is the kicker, because once your wrist loosens up you basically stop fighting your own tool. So did Ray charge you for that advice or was watching you suffer payment enough?
