The timing of this now is strangely apt. I like the opening segment. It pulls the viewer in well. The transitions and visual elements are also working well. The narration has a nice tone. Starting around 1:30, I wonder if substituting some imagery that show bots themselves on screen would help keep focus on Twitter. If you want to show some measles tweets, I have a spreadsheet collecting them at

For some of the segments, you might be able to combine the visuals with the narration. E.g, with the clickbait segment, you could keep the narration and drop the sound from the puppy in the microwave to make the same point but focus a bit more. The information and narration are working well, so polishing out some of the segments or visuals that feel a bit more tangential will keep the focus. The later segments are well done in terms of capturing visuals with good legibility that resonate with the discussion. Toward the end with the measles segment, the emphasis on bots seems to drift. You might think about ways of forecasting or focusing on social media and misinformation earlier in the piece--perhaps after the opening segment with some tweaks to the narration. The editing and narration are really solid, so some adjustments to the imagery and corresponding focusing in the narration will take it to the next level. Nice work.
