Do people actually sit down and watch these focused? I see longer and longer videos on YouTube because the algorithm seems to favour those, but for me, the longer it is, the more chance it has to be played as background noise or not played at all.
Another really good Video by a different Channel, some more news
A Brief Look at Jordan Peterson - 2h 55m - A methodical, step by step dismantlement of the idea that Jordan Peterson is anything else than a Right Winger and a moron.
Video essays are like the perfect cross between a podcast and an audiobook. They're long enough to put on while I'm doing something else, like cleaning or studying, but short enough to get through in one sitting. And then if I need a break from what I'm doing, I can focus on the video for a little.
Yeah. Sometimes I get a bit fidgety and like to do something with my hands, so I'll do some knitting or something, but I always pay attention primarily to the video. I feel like I don't really remember anything from videos if I listen to them in the background.
I love em'. Better than anything else on TV imo. I love a full breakdown of an analog horror ARG or an internet mystery rabbit hole deep dive. And usually because ots just one dedicated creator with no deadline/boss/focus group/format to appease, they have so much more character, charm and uniquenes.. There's no studio who could hold my attention with the cookie cutter slop on any of the streaming platforms.
