    I think video essays are funny because 99% of it is only ever about pop culture, pop history, and pop philosophy made by people who recently studied the subject

      Thats exactly what it is. Treats have saturated everything.

      look, peoples are allowed to have fun, i like video games a lot. i just really wish people would stop wringing this format of video essay dry.

      i loved video essays and still enjoy a good Jacob Gellar video, but no i dont want to listen to some dude recount the story of witcher 3 in its entirety and call it a "video essay"

        Honestly before video essays became trendy and I was in high school, I thought about continuing to do essays after school. I should’ve done it if I known that everyone would make a substack.
