Hi Calvin! I really enjoyed your video, but I wanted to let you know that someone unexpectedly altered the message you intended to convey in your vlog on the internet. You mentioned in the video that it was Friday, so there were fewer meetings and tasks, but this individual added their own narration, misinterpreting it as you leading a relaxed life as a Meta intern every day, indulging in food and drink. They even shortened the parts of the video where you were working and claimed you were dissatisfied with your quitting time that day (however, they did compliment you, saying you're good looking). Fortunately, a kind person posted the link to your original video in the comments, and that's when I realized your content had been misinterpreted😥😥
