-                  You probably use CapCut and think your video editing is
-                  special. You think your fucking TikTok with 47 transitions and
-                  12 different fonts is going to get you some viral fame. You
-                  think loading up every goddamn effect in their library makes
-                  your content better. Wrong, motherfucker. Let me describe what
-                  CapCut actually gives you:

-                <ul className="text-lg space-y-2 mb-6 list-disc list-inside">
-                  <li>A paywall every time you breathe</li>

-                  <li>
-                    More "Get Pro" dialogs than a Windows 95 error message
-                  </li>
-                  <li>
-                    Features that disappear behind paywalls while you're fucking
-                    using them
-                  </li>
-                  <li>Bugs disguised as "premium features"</li>

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  You. Are. Getting. Scammed. Look at this shit. It's a fucking
-                  video editor. Why the fuck do you need to pay $20/month just
-                  to remove a goddamn watermark? You spent hours editing your
-                  video and they slap their logo on it like they fucking made
-                  it.
-                </p>

-                </h2>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  This motherfucking dialog pops up more than ads on a pirated
-                  movie site. Want to add a transition? Get Pro. Want to export
-                  without their watermark? Get Pro. Want to use more than 2
-                  fonts? Get fucking Pro, peasant.
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Did you seriously think you could edit a video without seeing
-                  this dialog 47 times? You click one button and BAM - there it
-                  is again, asking for your credit card like a desperate ex
-                  asking for money.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  You dumbass. You thought CapCut was free, but no. Free means
-                  they let you open the app. Everything else costs money. Basic
-                  shake effect? That'll be $20/month. A decent transition that
-                  isn't "fade"? Pay up, motherfucker.
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Here's my favorite piece of bullshit: You import an MP3 file -
-                  you know, AUDIO - and try to export. "Sorry, can't export
-                  because you're using our premium extract audio feature!"
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  <strong>
-                    My MP3 was already fucking audio, you absolute morons.
-                  </strong>
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  But wait, there's more! If you drag that same MP3 to their
-                  media panel first, then to the timeline, it magically works.
-                  This isn't a bug, it's a fucking scam disguised as software
-                  engineering.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Look at this shit. You upload your content and they basically
-                  say "thanks for the free content, we own it now, but if Disney
-                  sues anyone, that's your problem."

-                  <strong>CapCut's Terms of Service:</strong> We get full rights
-                  to use, modify, distribute, and monetize everything you upload
-                  - permanently and without paying you shit. But you're still
-                  responsible if anything goes wrong.
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Translation: "We'll make money off your viral video, you
-                  handle the lawsuits." Brilliant legal strategy, you fucks.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Here's the thing that makes me want to punch my monitor: the
-                  actual video editor is fucking good. It's intuitive, powerful,
-                  and anyone can figure it out. When it's not begging for money
-                  every 30 seconds, it actually works well.
-                </p>
-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Which makes everything else so much worse. They built
-                  something people want to use, then turned it into a digital
-                  slot machine. Every click might trigger a payment request.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  Like the person who's never used software that doesn't
-                  constantly beg for money, you have no fucking idea what a
-                  video editor should be. All you've ever seen are predatory
-                  apps disguised as creative tools.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  A real video editor lets you edit videos. It doesn't steal
-                  your content. It doesn't pop up payment dialogs every 5
-                  seconds. It doesn't charge you separately for basic features
-                  that should be free.

-                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
-                  I'm not actually saying all video editors should be basic as
-                  shit. What I'm saying is that all the problems we have with
-                  video editing apps are{" "}
-                  <strong>ones they create themselves</strong>. Video editors
-                  aren't broken by default - they edit videos, export them, and
-                  let you use basic features without constantly begging for
-                  money. CapCut breaks them. They turn them into payment
-                  processors with video editing as a side feature.
