The story is about watching "cursed" videos, which are not just eerie or unsettling clips but are believed to actually put a curse on the viewer simply by watching them. The speaker reminisces about a type of video they encountered as a kid, which typically featured creepy imagery and ended with a message implying the viewer had a limited time to live, like "you have seven days to live." Despite the ominous nature of these videos, the speaker notes they’re still around and alive. They also mention the video of Guy Fieri humorously tossing Lean Cuisines as an example of this type of content.
