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.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with longer videos.

    Nothing inherently wrong with long videos, but it's something encouraged by the engagement algorithm and you can tell a bunch of video essays pad stuff to reach these 1+ hour lenghts, either by nitpicking or by providing needless context. HOWEVER if they fill these padding segments with jokes I won't mind that much.
