I'm of the opinion that a video of any length can be ideal, it just has to be suited to its contents. For example: ProZD (everyone look him up, he's amazing) has short as shit videos. Like, 5-40 seconds. And they're spectacular. Cracking the Cryptic has half hour videos, that sometimes stretch to an hour if the puzzle is really fucking hard. Also ideal. (Although I'll be honest, I watch on 1.5 speed.) For long videos, my examples are all breadtube, it's true, but Hbomb (and, less awesomely PhilosophyTube) are good. Not everything they produce, obviously, there's the occasional dud, but I'd rather a 2 hour Hbomb video than most movies, so, you know, it is what it is.

Wait people actually watch cracking the cryptic instead of ignoring the videos and clicking the links to the puzzles?
