Something about knowing that people out there find this kind of content compelling is so depressing it feels me with utter dread. Like to add insult to injury of course the person reacting to the video essay is gonna be constantly pausing throughout it so it should take at LEAST twice as long to finish the video.
So… if someone is reacting to THAT reaction it’s gonna take like 8 hours to get to the end of the video like jesus christ WHAT on earth are you people doing.
I don't feel superior, I just think editors can bring a lot of value to something. Sometimes people need to be told they're rambling and to cut out the excess so that the purpose of a thing is clear. I don't have to watch a weird rambling mess of a video when there's near infinite forms of video I can watch.
Note: I am not describing any specific video. I have never watched Contrapoints. This is my opinion on making pretty much anything. If an artist/creator does not want an editor, I do not think they are lesser. I just think it can make something more valuable than it might have been otherwise.

And some of those are very good. Like I think HBomb and Defunctland have made some very good, pointed videos. They're long, but not rambling. You can feel that things were cut out because they didn't serve the purpose.
