What sets you apart from the average layman is that you don't think watching the link was "boring" or any synonym for "waste of time." You thought that part was interesting enough on its own to pursue. That's not how most people operate.
PBS Spacetime, Vertasium and Suspicious0bservers is pretty much all I watch. If there's something I want to dig more, I usually look at the wikipedia page and leave it at that. This is the opposite of boring to me.
