    For what it's worth, I think Olson's work is of the small subset of videos that actually merit the word "essay."

    I think the standards of what makes a "good" "video essay" are as yet undetermined, and I think the Breadtube subreddit failed to give a satisfactory answer to that question.

      there's also these travelogues from Noah Caldwell-Gervais that straight up have serious literary merit. they capture something priceless about the state of the American west at the very edge of the precipice, before climate change chokes what life is left out of the region. it's a genuinely beautiful series.
