This is a very good test, and the car should have past. That said though, I hate the click bait format where they show a stupidly obvious cartoonish wall, when the real wall is way more convincing.
The Video:
That sort of clickbait is 100% sure to get a "do not recommend channel" from me, I'm so sick of it. And it's sad when the video has such a good point.
The Clickbait
I can see it's kind of funny, but it's misleading.
Have you heard of DeArrow? https://dearrow.ajay.app/
It's a browser extension that replaces clickbait thumbnails with good community sourced ones
Thanks no I hadn't. Is that available as a Firefox extension. I do most of my browsing on desktop.

OK I see it now, a bunch of icons I usually glance over, because such "icon lines" are generally for a bunch of social media crap I don't use.

The link is in the comment you replied to.

Sorry, I mixed up 2 threads.

Your attitude really doesn't work well with your lack of reading comprehension.
6 hour trial, sounds like proprietary to me.
Edit: I just read the entire text, and it is actually very reasonable, I just caught the license key thing together with the payment option. It's actually even cheap, so maybe I'll consider it.
You cannot be serious?! Are you trolling?
First of all, something not being free (as in gratis) does not mean it is proprietary per se.
Second of all, your reading comprehension failed you again:
