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.

I much prefer reading with some photos and maybe a video than just tedious half hour videos about minutiae to pad out a monetization quota.

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.

They had a studio down on Vermont or something in LA and had to change the mural on the building to update the name.

There's a bagel shop in NYC that used to be called "F Line Bagels" but changed to "Line Bagels" to satisfy the transit authority. One could probably populate a small town with all the world's various proper nouns (bagel shops, bands, etc) that had to be changed after a C&D. That would be quite fun!
