+                  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>Terms of service that steal your shit</li>
+                  <li>
+                    More "Get Pro" dialogs than a Windows 95 error message

+                  <li>
+                    Features that disappear behind paywalls while you're fucking
+                    using them

+                <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>
+              </div>

+                </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.

+                  Everything costs money now
+                </h2>
+                <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."

+                <p className="text-lg mb-6">
+                  <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.

+                  video editor should be. All you've ever seen are predatory

+                <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

+                  We're not actually saying all video editors should be basic as

+                  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. CapCut breaks them. They turn them
+                  into payment processors with video editing as a side feature.
