Look, if you don't want me to complain that a video is too long, then don't post a video essay that would be six paragraphs of content if it were written down but instead has been fluffed out to thirty minutes.
There's people out there making content like that. Idk I just don't get their weird hostility towards a whole genre. If you don't like it fine, if you have specific criticisms of a specific work fine, if you dislike how the industry is incentivizing it over other work fine, but it's weird to just reflexively condemn the entire medium.

Nobody's making you watch it
Nobody's making you post it, either
Nobody is forcing you to comment on the post
Wrong - my FBI handler said I had to make this website more toxic so we do more crimes

Oh my goodness yes. If something can be presented well in a blog post, it damn well should be.
The real MVPs will do both a blog post and a video essay
What if I like there being a visual element and perhaps the occasional comedic aside?
I think a lot can be done with blog posts that have short embedded videos as appropriate.

Even then too many of them have too much fluff to hit algorithmic length standards.
Yeah, so many copycats of channels like Nerdwriter and Every Frame A Painting completely miss the point of what those channels do with the medium.
