Anti-polyamory propoganda which clearly had some thought put into constructing a persuasive argument while doing lots of subtle or not so subtle manipulations. Always interesting to observe which emotional/psychological threads this kind of thing tries to pull on.

Well, given how ridiculously niche polyamory actually is in the real world, maybe we should be thinking of this as pro-polyamory propoganda instead. Or rather, I think this video is using polyamory as a stand-in/steelman for mere casual relationships with no formalized boundaries, which is what actually tends to happen IRL. But then most polyamorists would agree that these are generally a bad idea.
