Why it worked

The video taps into a relatable 'cringe' factor by highlighting a common, simple skill that people are failing at, which naturally drives engagement through comments and shares.

Summary

The video features a street interview segment where people are asked to read an analog clock, followed by a reaction from the creator expressing frustration that people no longer know how to tell time. The creator explains the difference between the hour and minute hands and laments the decline in basic skills.

Transcript

What time is it? One? I don't know how to read time. What time is it? 2:30. That say 2:30. What time is it? It's 12:41. What time is it? Two. What time is it? 2 o'clock. What time is it? 9:30. Oh no, hold on. Take your time. 6:50. Can't even time on a clock anymore. This is so hard to watch, man. No joke. We can't even tell time on a clock no more. I know we don't use clocks no more 'cause we got watches and we can just look on the computer to tell time. But it's like, clocks still be around. We should know how to tell time on a clock. We learned this stuff in elementary school. Like, people's brains are really going downhill when they can't even tell time on a clock. How is it that y'all cannot tell time on a clock? Then y'all don't know the difference between the little hand and the big hand? Y'all getting the little hand and the big hand confused. The little hand is the hour, the big hand is the minute and seconds. I thought we knew this, though. Telling time should be one of the most simplest things to ever do. And the fact that I'm watching a video where some people can't even tell time on a clock is really baffling to me.
