14:23 I scanned the QR code.

It's a rickroll.

The little Disrupt[TV] breaks remind me so much of when adult swim used to do it

I need a documentary to understand what’s happening in this documentary

I like the video, but I'm going to leave some feedback because I've got some mixed feelings. The look and presentation of the video are really cool, but the structure and pacing confused me. The transition between the two disconnected stories was pretty abrupt, and I kept waiting for events to connect back with wannacry, but, well, that didn't happen. I think my main issues are
1) the way the video is structured, and the way the script is written, made me (a new viewer) expect the two stories to be connected. I felt disappointed when the video just stopped without resolving the "connection" I expected.
2) the title and video length made me expect a deep dive into wannacry, but over half the runtime was dedicated to an unrelated story. It's a good story, but it's not the one I thought I was getting.
I feel like both of these problems are related to just, like, better communication. Like if the title/thumbnail was something like "a virus led agents down a rabbit hole, " "wannacry investigation unearths dark internet secrets, " "wannacry was only the tip of the internet crime iceberg, " etc., that would totally fix my second issue, because I'd be expecting some wannacry with a deeper focus on other internet crime. And if the transitions were handled a little differently, with just, like, an indication that this isn't a related story, instead of a cold open featuring characters we haven't met yet, I probably wouldn't be writing this comment right now.
I'm not looking for a fight, I think this kind of stuff would genuinely improve this video and future videos like it. There's nothing wrong with videos that tell multiple interesting stories with the same theme - I love that kind of content, which is why I do still like this video - but I think this one looks enough like a single-story video to confuse people who haven't watched this channel before.

that worm is the most dramatic presentation of a literal for loop ive ever seen

[wattlesplays]

these feel illegal to watch for free theyre so amazingly made

[Plagued_Pacifist]

That roto chair ad made me think it was actually was part of the story

[declanhuber]

That last part about how only 500, 000$ of the estimated billion were found is so unnerving... That's only half of one one thousandth of the full scale of Paul's empire, in other words, *1/20th of 1%*

Thanks to RotoChair for sponsoring this episode of Disrup[tv]

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I can't help but mention that Disrupt's videos are so well put together, it's hard to believe everyone can watch them for free.

Wait you only talked about wannacry for 6 minutes and then a bizarre story about drugs?

[carecacabeludoblehb]

why does every "deadliest computer virus" video has an distorted image of an depressed man with some big melted eyes and some strong color like red green and blue?

[ytrewqfdsacxz]

I was a bit confused about how it switched between the 2 stories and how they were related

[mcpeteymcnustard]

Out of all of Disrupts videos the "Virus" ones gotta be my fav

[AA-pwni]

The content: Immaculate and well thought out
The outros: I'm stoned and 14 and this is deep

[LrdOfThePies]

I feel like if I blink listening to this I'll be completely lost, it feels a bit disjointed even while its all coming together

[thesebby]

That Paul empire is something straight out of Breaking Bad

[uncledoctor]

"Boaz said he started the company with his brother, Tomar."

Once again the almighty Tomar is caught red handed in his nefarious acts.

[ajsparx]

Oh man, that ending makes me think the rest of his billion just moved to another dark empire of criminals
