These days this would be in a video with a clickbait thumbnail with someone shouting at you after a VPN sponsor ad.

Which would probably reach a wider audience and maybe give the creator a few quid to try other things. I love these kinds of articles (and wrote a few back in the day), but it's hard to see YouTube as a regression.

If this was a few years ago, I would argue it breaks indexability but today it would automatically get transcribed anyway. Though I still find reading a page like this more practical than watching a video except when eating as watching a video becomes easier then.

I always heard it as "Jell-o", not "jelly".

There was a band called Green Jello that used the name for a decade until one of their songs became popular, then Kraft Foods sent them a C&D for trademark infringement and they had to change their name to Green Jelly.

Yes, it's simple to do really. Just open the jar to make a few sandwiches then promptly forget about it in the back of the fridge for a year.

Talking about English jelly, aka American jell-o, so not as easy as you say

You haven't forgotten about thing in the fridge, have you. It's scary looking back there ... forgotten. alone. unloved. Everything nails up to the wall back there. Check your fridge often.
