Absolutely 150% agree re: copy. If anything takes more than a couple steps, and requires more than 20 seconds of attention, No amount of design holds a flame next to clear, concise copy. There were many takeaways along these lines. Another one: People need to see what their contribution adds to a bigger picture. Another one: the affordance of a single stage will always isolate the majority. The tl;dr was the truth. We did learn a lot.
Appreciate you showing up.

A FUCKING MILLION TIMES ***THIS.***
I can't tell you how many times I've come across something with piss poor docs, and an author with a piss poor attitude towards docs. It's insanely frustrating to go trying to decipher docs only to wind up stabbing in the dark for hours, only to angrily give the fuck up having achieved or learned nothing . . .
. . . all because the author believes that documentation isn't worth their time.
I'm glad you guys learned this, and I hope that it translates to a better Reddit even in some small way.

I gave up after 1 minute. That was painful to watch, I cannot imagine slugging though 14 more minutes. But duh, of course reddit is going to vote on a bunch of obnoxious memes, were you guys honestly thinking that the users here were going to come up with a Spielberg movie?

As a teacher, I feel for you. Everything needs to be repeated twice, but in a different way and you need to provide an example.

Yeah, I was really confused about what was going on or what I was doing.
