Ugh, the sagging thing is so real. I had the same issue with one of those mesh trays, it bent right in the middle and my cords just piled up in a heap. The shower curtain ring idea is genius though, I've been using binder clips on the edge of my desk for a while but they keep snapping when I need to move a cable. Maybe it's just me but swapping out a phone charger is such a pain when everything is zip tied to something permanent. I love that you can just unclip one ring and slide a new cord through without touching the rest. Honestly, might steal this setup this weekend, my $8 fix is already looking sad compared to yours.

Saw a video essay last week that mentioned how shows are paced for the old TV commercial breaks, which is why streaming feels so slow. Speed watching basically fixes that mismatch, you end up getting the same story without the dead air. Have you tried it with subtitles on, because that combo sounds like the real key here?
