What was the YouTube video about? Honestly ~50 minutes video is too long to embed without any kind of introduction to why I shouldd stop reading and start watching.

Even 10 minutes is stretching it, if the video itself doesn't start of with an introduction.

Inside joke. It’s the first episode of “The Prisoner,” a legendary dystopic television show featuring a prisoner whose jailers go to great lengths to induce a feeling of helplessness, but he resists.

That’s literally the plot of every episode: The jailers thinking up new ways to teach him that he cannot control what happens, and him coming up with new ways to make the jailers feel that it’s them who cannot control what happens.
