Exactly the same - I was very interested in the premise but struggled to make it past this section, too, for the same reasons you’ve mentioned. Would certainly agree that these clips should’ve been used more sparingly, as it’s a bit of a slog otherwise.

I found the intro hook intriguing, but the reporting starts with a lot of media clips and other run-ups, which eventually made me leave.
It’s great they put in so much effort into genuine, on-site reporting, but the already long video report feels even more bloated/filled this way.
I have to wonder if the DMCA was due to the news clips. While they may be fair use for contextualized reporting, I didn’t find them particularly valuable, and DMCA issues could have been avoided without them or without using so many of them.

They have said that Bloomburg footage of trump talking about GPUs was the claim. They probably did play a little too fast and loose with copyrighted footage.
