How does "brick" mean "content flows in the column direction"? Don't you lay bricks row by row?

The "brick" layout creates rows, yes. When a regular person looks at it, they will see rows. But Grid Lanes flows content up and down, not across the row.

If you just want content to flow down one row, then the next, then the next, Flexbox is a better solution.

The whole point of masonry layout is that content flows perpendicular to the lane.
