I don't use Reddit. If there's interest in turning this into a video, I'm willing to film myself speaking some of my lines, but fear composing an entire video (ideally with several speakers) would take video editing skills and resources I don't have.
I actually want to film this, except I still think it has at least a 25% chance of turning out to be a horrible idea.
