    Quinton Reviews is the Darksouls boss of long commentary videos. His latest (that was taken down) was actually 38 hrs of his dad talking about Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.

    I got like 3 hours into a 50 hour Chris Chan documentary before I realized I had no idea who this autistic kid was and I wasn’t even invested in if he ever found a “boyfriend-free girl”.

    I really hate these really long videos. They don’t have to be all sub-10 minutes for me, but lately I have seen some previously pretty solid Youtubers post 1.5 hour long videos, consisting for at least one third of rehashed older videos. The rest isn’t all that much content either, and could be half shorter with some good editing.

      I love the long videos if they have the content to support it. But I have definitely bounced from some that are very clearly just trying to pad the length for more ad revenue. The people I tend to watch seem pretty well paced in every video, no complaints about them. I hope the solid YouTubers you like are just having a down month or something.

    ‘video essay’ is such a cringe attempt at re-branding. You’re too lazy to fucking read and won’t consume any content unless it’s effortless and entertaining.
