'i like to listen to long video essays as background noise' is my favourite defence because it implies that nobody who watches these are even paying attention to the video's thesis.
The longest video essay I ever paid much attention to was Noah Gervais’s resident evil retrospective at a whopping 8 hours. I did have to digest it in chunks but I actually do like his style of video.
The vid proved more useful when I was working the most mind numbing and monotonous machine workshop job - a video essay clocking in around 8 hours with clear delineations between each game in the series provided pleasant background noise and let me know when it was getting to be about lunch/clock out time.
how can three hours on bloons have a thesis?! So many video essays now feel like rephrasings of the wikipedia article with slides. Like totally void of argumentation or critical thought on part of the maker.

It's the new "I watch R E A L I T Y T V" ironically because it's a train wreck!" which was the excuse of most of the people that made it profitable.
