Half As Interesting

The YouTube channel equivalent of "this could have been an email."

A real explanation is that Half As Interesting makes short videos that ask somewhat simple questions about weird topics that are almost always answered very, very concisely after 5 minutes of expositional dawdling. Every single video could be turned into a single Q and A tweet with context below.

pointless crit

In games, a critical hit that occurs redundantly and in which a normal hit would have been just as effective.
These are often annoying or frustrating in a game where critical hits are rare and/or generally out of the player's control/influence.

Yeah, I was battling a trainer in Pokemon and I got a pointless crit when their Pokemon's HP was pretty low. I could've used it at any other point but RNGesus chose now of all times.

smaller creators

Multi-million or -billion dollar corporations and celebrities. Not ordinary people.
