Let’s say someone sends you a video to watch. How long can said video be before you decide it’s too long to watch?

For the purpose of this question, let’s assume you’re trying to decide whether to watch it or not right when you receive it. Let’s also assume that it’s moderately interesting (5/10).

    I ignore videos people send to me. Back in like 2007 or something a friend discovered Youtube and sent me links for every video they enjoyed. Which would add up to hours a day. So now my policy is just to ignore. Especially crap from the socials that make you sign up/in.

    Meanwhile, I’ll watch video essays from creators I respect that last 1-4 hours.
