Referred to Hbomb and Shaun. like yes sure quality over quantity, but if i dont like the topic of the video, that is it from that youtuber for another 4 months. making a video every week or so would make them way more enjoyable without losing so much entertainment value, and way more influencial, which is why Hasan and Kyle Kulinski are just so popular.

edit: ok i think some of yall are getting unnecessarily heated in the comments. i just wanted to say that not everyone is able to watch a really long video, and there is a trend within left yt to make very long videos. i know some of them are capable of making shorter, possibly more frequent content, and i liked it more that way. not to mention that yt doesnt favor long video and crap like that, so if they are trying to reach out/make a profit, this isnt how you do it usually.

    well, dont do these videos. you can make shorter videos about briefer topics. if your job is to educate, sure, but you could have educated a lot more without going so far in, or educating in easier topics. if they keep going like this, left yt will be like a long lost friend you only see once every couple of years and has little influence over you or anybody; meanwhile, any right winger can shit out a video or more a day, and bring over thousands to his side.

        you're in the minority, lol. i guess they have a market for those, but there are simply not a lot of people who can sit down and watch a two hours video about a topic they may not care about. i for one adore Hbomb. his video on Loss is my favourite on yt. but i dont give a shit about Fallout, since i never played it. so i'm gonna have to wait this summer for a new Hbomb video.

          Is he? Really? Because Shaun seems pretty goddamn popular and he's only ever done that kind of video.

            i said i do like them tho? but it's a bit disappointing when a new vid comes out and it's about something i dont care about. the problem wouldnt be there if he did more frequent vids, cos yeah sure, i didnt like this one but i got a new one soon.

            if you watch streamers a lot you might have noticed a lot of them have gone in a craze for pokemon cards lately? but i dont care, they upload a video daily so they can really just do 5 videos in a row about that, and after that i'd still get normal content. ofc i dont expect hbomb to do daily videos, tho, lol

              You don't like them though. You would like them if you did like them, but you don't like them, so you don't. If they were more like videos you liked and less like videos you didn't, you'd like them, but the videos he makes are more like the ones you don't like and less like the ones you do.

                shut up, nerd, i know what i like, and i know what i would enjoy more. stop coming around here telling me that criticism of something i like makes me not like that thing. "hm what? you cant enjoy someone's content cos you can focus for more than five minutes straight? that clearly means you cant like that person or their content or their humor. owned" shut up.

                (sorry im having a bad day and i really dont need people telling me i dont have taste for having attention disorders.)

                  I mean, if you can't focus on something for more than 5 minutes, saying someone who's thing is making 2 hour long videos should make 5 minute long videos isn't even really a criticism of them.

                  It's not a criticism of Coke to say that I'd like it better if it were clear and lemon&lime flavored.

                  I mean, I have attention disorders too, but my way of coping with long videos is to watch them in small bursts (pause and come back later) or to simply not watch them. I see a long Shaun video and I’m like “oh cool, a new completely free video that this person has made available to me and others completely for free! How nice of him to do so! He probably spent a very long time on this. Perhaps it will be more difficult for me to watch this one, but that’s ok because he literally does not owe me anything”

      Dude, fuck off. He is just an entertainer. If you think this is some important battle that needs to be done, do it yourself. He will do whatever he wants.

        dude, dont be so angry. im just saying, that making videos that long goes unappreciated. that's it. i wouldnt want my favourite guys on the platform go unappreciated like that.

          If they keep making them it's because it's appreciated. If youtube doesn't like it, Patreon will do.
