Loved the Tiktok, but constructive critisism

If ethan sees this, I have 2 constructive criticisms that I think will help the potency of his tiktoks made to counter the narrative against him.

First is obvious - too long. In this particular instance with the reddit account, I do think the length was justified, but that leads to my next suggestion.

The second is adress the cheap shots made against Ethan briefly at the start of a video, or do a very short follow up video to counter the smear - in this case that he is a creep or something. These snarkers and bad faith individuals are only interested in using the inflammatory part of a story, so I think these are the most important things to counter. In fact, I'm sure they will laser focus on the name and completely disregard the content of most of its posts.

Like for this instance, i think a ~1min video saying like 'oh btw people now think I'm a pedo or something, but here's the thing, I made an account at least in part to troll (as hinted at in the account name), and some of the posts I made were trolling. Shocker. Also this was 15 years ago and in the state of internet funny-people culture this kind of stuff and worse was common place. What are you, a funking idiot?'

With that said I think this was a good video still. I just think Ethan needs to optimise making the videos super short (a 6 minute video is so scary), while still countering the main 'headline' arguments made against him.

Peace and love xoxo
