For an introduction to the project see this video from the original creator Zach Freedman: https://youtu.be/ra_9zU-mnl8

(Short version its an open and free expandable 3D printable modular storage system with modules to fit everything from screws to soldering irons and SD cards)

Your short version cuts to the point but I have to say Zach is probably the most entertaining nerd I subscribe to on YouTube and his wit-packed, teleprompter-speedrun videos are worth a full watch (IMHO).

I first went to the Web site, but couldn't tell what it was.

So started this video, but it's 21 minutes of high-noise entertainment.

Jumping around, I got about 21 seconds of information, and guessed at the rest.

It looks like some kind of 3D-printable physical storage containers/compartments that fit to a grid, like desk drawer organizer trays.

Both the intro and commercial take about 4 minutes

The guy makes his STL freely available. The least anyone can do is to fully watch his video so that the YouTube algorithm won’t punish him

The least anyone can do is to not waste their time, and let the video rightly be punished.

I don't understand, the guy explains what's going on within the first minute

Then he should turn that one minute into text and add it to the website.

Front page of the site:

> Gridfinity could be your workshop's ultimate modular storage system to keep you productive, organized, and safe. It is free, open source, and almost 100% 3D printable.

These comments remind me of watching 'Chopped' where someone overcooks a fish by like, a minute, and the judges get so offended and go off about the food being 'inedible' How dare someone expect me to comprehend a sentence or watch a 5 minute video...

It would be a lot of work to seize the domain and add his own text. I'm not even sure if the Gridfinity trademark situation would allow for that.

Yes that's pretty much it

That’s what the first paragraph of tfa says.

Also YouTube is mainly for entertainment so that shouldn’t be a surprise.
