Oh wow. You're upset that a volcanologist doesn't have acting skills but is trying to use a medium that's popular to impart information and generally fight misinformation? Cool. Have a nice life.

They're lip syncing to something. Just post that thing?

The lip syncing is only 20% of the video.

The first 20%. The link was literally "just left here" so I had zero reason to think the rest would be any different

My point is, if they "just posted the thing", you'd miss the entire purpose of the video! The lip synching part was just a meme introduction to an actual video. It was a mere 10 seconds long!

It wasn't even 20%, it was 10 seconds out of a minute and a half. You couldn't get past TEN seconds to reach the actual content of the video?

That's a long time for a 90-second video.

The opening usually sets the tone and I think lip syncing is anti-funny. If I'm immediately put off by a video, the only time I'd keep watching is if someone gave me the heads up it was more than that
