    “High quality” can come in the form of investing time into research, or creating visual aids that present information clearly. But it also often manifests as flashy title cards, pointless special effects, derivative humor (like frenzied jump cuts to movie clips and memes every few seconds), unnecessarily rambling intros, superfluous wall-to-wall music. I feel like many of these features are borrowed over from classical TV, to give the veneer of a highly produced “professional” product, when democratized internet media’s greatest strength is to actually free us from these conventions.
