Yes. I don't know what everyone is so upset about, the video just shows the manufacturing process of a Damascus steel blade. And they chose to watch it.

The smith was working on multiple billets, but the video kinda made it look like they were working on a singular one. That in turn made it seem like the smith was producing so many layers they would eventually become too thin to distinguish and basically become a homogenous metal with no pattern.

A fault of the video format, really. A longer format would have had space to make it clear there were several billets being worked on.

That makes so much more sense! I was like there is no way they managed to plan out that billet through so many different ways of layering it.

As the guy that originally bitched that makes sense. As long as the original billet was large enough to do such things.

I have my doubt but yield to a more educated opinion.

Well, the autohammer was. The guy moving ingots around probably shouldn't be called a 'smith'

And then they chose to voice their opinion. Where is the problem?

Leaving a comment increases engagement and makes the oc more popular. If they didnt like the video, they should have just kept scrolling. Unless, of course, they seek out content that enrages them and intentionally increase engagement to try to enrage more people. I think they call that trolling.

Saying that a boring video is boring isn't trolling.
