    I ignore all of that crap. When Apple or wherever makes a new thing, I read about it in text and maybe watch a YouTube video with highlights. I don’t care about upcoming movies or shows, I care about what exists and what reviewers have to say about it.

    I’ve helped a friend make a skateboarding demo reel (he called it a demo tape) to try to get sponsored, but that’s about it. I’m guessing this is a name for the same type of thing?

    At work, I deal mostly in text, and if we have to watch a video about some upcoming initiative, I’ll either skip the meeting or get work done with the audio in the background, because I know it’s a waste of time. I’ve never cared to know what the marketing dept calls those videos, they never have anything valuable in them.
