Ranting about hard launching relationshipsfrom @couldbaret
[01]
Overview
The creator delivers an opinionated and comedic monologue directly to the camera, arguing that 'hard launching' a new relationship on social media using a photo booth film strip is the best method. He humorously justifies this by saying it makes the resulting unfollows from past connections worthwhile. He then lists his top three song choices for such a post before comically undercutting his own advice by holding up a photo strip and dismissively referring to the person in it.
