Short video is crowded. Most of it is recycled. Runnel is built for original 20 second videos. Post fast. Reply with video. Build a feed around creators you actually want to watch. 20 seconds forces clarity. And it shows. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
