It’s possible Ben regrets his promise to repeat the name of our new YouTube subscriber (selected randomly from the group of new-YouTube-ies) one thousand times. His regret may even be palpable in his half-hour video making good on his pledge. He may even cry for help, or simply cry. He may hit rock bottom and rebound, all the while saying the same name over . . . and over . . . and over. He may grow numb—possibly as numb as the viewer of this half-hour video of him saying the same name over . . . and over . . . and over. Spoiler: he survives. He may smile at the end. You’ll have to watch to see.
