RSI Risk Comparison: Ergonomics vs Overuse (IS ERGONOMICS OVERRATED?)

Why does ergonomics get more focus in the workplace and online than overuse? In today's video I'll give my (spicy) take on why ergonomics dominates the discussion about office workplace injury prevention, while overuse is hardly mentioned.
