[@somelurker6115]

I like the video, but I'm going to leave some feedback because I've got some mixed feelings. The look and presentation of the video are really cool, but the structure and pacing confused me. The transition between the two disconnected stories was pretty abrupt, and I kept waiting for events to connect back with wannacry, but, well, that didn't happen. I think my main issues are 1) the way the video is structured, and the way the script is written, made me (a new viewer) expect the two stories to be connected. I felt disappointed when the video just stopped without resolving the "connection" I expected. 2) the title and video length made me expect a deep dive into wannacry, but over half the runtime was dedicated to an unrelated story. It's a good story, but it's not the one I thought I was getting. I feel like both of these problems are related to just, like, better communication. Like if the title/thumbnail was something like "a virus led agents down a rabbit hole," "wannacry investigation unearths dark internet secrets," "wannacry was only the tip of the internet crime iceberg," etc., that would totally fix my second issue, because I'd be expecting some wannacry with a deeper focus on other internet crime. And if the transitions were handled a little differently, with just, like, an indication that this isn't a related story, instead of a cold open featuring characters we haven't met yet, I probably wouldn't be writing this comment right now. I'm not looking for a fight, I think this kind of stuff would genuinely improve this video and future videos like it. There's nothing wrong with videos that tell multiple interesting stories with the same theme - I love that kind of content, which is why I do still like this video - but I think this one looks juuuuust enough like a single-story video to confuse people who haven't watched this channel before.

[@kingangelo3838]

I’ll be completely honest here, even though this video is a really well made from an aesthetics/presentation stand point, the pacing and structure is REALLY confusing. I’m trying to read comments to see if I missed anything, I get how the pharmacy company and murders and underground crimes are kinda connected? But they weren’t connected at all to the WANNACRY Virus unless I missed the part where it is. I say this with the hope that in the future your videos can be better explained, because I really like how it looks and I feel it could improve more. I just wished I didn’t feel stupid not understanding the connection and I feel a bit betrayed that the virus wasn’t really the point of the video, which is why I clicked on it. People saying this is clickbait are not entirely wrong.

[@somekindofgnome8477]

I get that this particular video is confusing (it’s dense with an absolutely bonkers story that might deserve its own video, plus the title makes it seem like Wannacry is the main story), but these videos, the ones about viruses/cyber-crimes, are all in this format. Two completely/mostly unrelated stories in one episode, split into two parts each, switching between the two. Wannacry and the organized crime empire are NOT related. The video starts with Wannacry part 1, then crime empire part 1, then onto Wannacry part 2, and the rest of the video is crime empire part 2. Again, it is pretty confusing (and comments claiming connection between the two make it way worse), but that’s the format. Perhaps a disclaimer at the start saying “This video is about two separate real life events, here’s the structure of the video” would be helpful.

[@kingangelo3838]

@@somekindofgnome8477 I know it's common for him to do it but if its a format that confuses multiple people I don't think it's that good of a structure for a video.

[@somekindofgnome8477]

Pakito I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the structure. The other videos have the exact same structure, but there’s no confusion about any of them. It’s the title of the video, dating of the stories (these videos are often about events many years apart, except for this one), location of the stories (a mysterious virus and an international crime empire instead of well-defined settings), and lack of a satisfying conclusion to Wannacry that combined for a confusing experience that could’ve been prevented by a clarification at the start. Or maybe Disrupt shouldn’t have paired these two stories together in the first place. They’re both well worth covering in this series IMO, but together might’ve been a problem.

You need to stick to just one story throughout a single video, your best uploads are the ones that do this. This back-and-forth format might work for special cases where two stories are very closely related to each other and have a direct effect on how they end, but in regular cases like this it just breaks the flow of the video in a very strange way.

[@catherinetyndale1734]

The main thing was that the video switches between the crime story and the virus story, which can confuse people.

Did you watch the previous parts of this series? This is how it's formatted.

[@tipakA]

@@spinyslasher6586 Format is one thing, but titling the video about topic you barely talk about over the course of the video, and through the rest of it you talk about completely different topic, making a singular vague connection between them without any explanation is another. Also, the format being so crisscrossed doesn't help with noticing the connection either.

[@Xaddre]

Just a little feedback: when I saw this video in my recommended I thought it was one of the old ones and only realized it was a new one because of the upload date. It may be a good idea to change the title to something like “WannaCry” and the thumbnail in combination with the format being similar it may be though to be the same video. Because of this I almost didn’t watch, but otherwise it was a great video. Edit: A streamer I watch was about to watch this video and thought that it was the exact same one he watched before when he got linked it and chat had to tell him it was a new one so it’s not only me.

[@Maxwell30110]

Actually this is the 3rd version of the "Earths deadliest [computer] virus" video. The first one featured MY.DOOM iirc and the last one featured ILOVEYOU. if you search up the title without WANNACRY you get all three where the MY.DOOM one was previously private.

[@lanboom9957]

[@seaotter4439]

Honestly, as good as the production value was here, I'd have to agree with some of the other people here and say this was difficult to follow. The two stories don't even have a minute connection to each other, and it's a bit confusing, and frankly irritating when you tell one part of a story, then make like House of Pain and jump around to another story instead of telling both in a coherent way that makes sense, like what another channel who's tied with your team's quality, Lemmino, does. That isn't to say it wasn't entertaining, it was, but for a channel who seeks to "provide high-quality, educational content for the masses," (taken verbatim from your website) this style of storytelling and cliffhangers do more to hinder than to educate. Plus, not clearly stating key points or information and requiring the viewer to infer it makes it pretty difficult for certain viewers, as when you have text that establishes a key point, dyslexic viewers might have trouble extrapolating what they've gotten, and autistic viewers, like myself, might not make the best inferences about certain things, thus making some of these vids inaccessible to said viewers. Other than all that, phenomenal work.
