Why it works
A huge pixel year and assembling first icon make the chronology clear within the opening second. The persistent canvas turns each new dated logo into part of a growing pile, with major graphic changes clustering after 0:25.6; the most-replayed moment at 0:21.1–0:21.6 sits in this escalation. A hard cut at 0:46.5 returns to an older tool for the closing joke, which the top comments repeatedly echo.
