    Nice concept, but why not generate one video per post rather than re-generating the video for each click per user? The result is going to be the same, and it will be significantly cheaper to run.

      We do cache them like that! As I wrote:

      "We create them on-the-fly the first time someone clicks on a link."

      Though I realise it could have been said more explicitly. But the second time someone clicks the link we re-use the same explainer.

        Haha, I should have read more thoroughly! Thanks
