    I’m really not a fan of the trend for really long video essays, especially since it’s almost always padding and repeating similar points.

    Anything up to 25 mins is usually fine, but 35+ is in the realm of ‘I’ll add it to Watch Later but never bother watching it’ and over an hour I’m just going to keep scrolling

      I guess you and I just have different tastes. I don’t think I’ve watched 1 hour+ videos that were just repeating, but the only ones I’ve watched that are that long are Dan Olson and Super Eyepatch Wolf.

      With those I intend to watch half now and watch half later, but end up engaged enough to just watch them through in a single sitting
