Obviously, 95% of the video is not about the desk but about the emotional effect of the odd object on the community. So it's a youtube bit unworthy of HNs time.

In traditional video editing terms the A-Block or initial draw-in always ends with you hoping for more clarification which then gets redirected to hypenomics.

You won't remember never getting clarification, your brain will only remember that clicking results in novelty and pleasure.
