Am I the only one who just scans and then link the words together? Like, I read it but I'm not reading it, am I crazy or?

1.9M Each video overlays a POV caption along the lines of:
POV: when I read faster than my bsf/boyfriend/husband.
The creators then lip-sync to the same audio clip; one delivers:
“Congratulations on winning employee of the month, ah,”
while the other responds with an exaggerated
“AAAA!”
The humor comes from pairing the reading-speed caption with the dramatic reaction.
Across five videos posted on October 11-16, the format generated 20.9M+ combined views.
