Does anyone like 1-hour video essays, though? (I mean appreciate it vs nothing, but as a blanket statement…)
I watched a 4 hour essay about the star wars Disney hotel…also I think there was a 3 hour one about how awful star trek Picard was.
Both were great, but both also took me a week to get through, a piece at a time.
The Disney hotel one was with that weird chick and she’s great. 10/10 would blow away my time on that again. However, YouTube is filled with literal garbage.
that weird chick and she’s great.
Jenny Nicholson, for anyone interested. There’s an equally long one about a failed permanent Renaissance Faire that’s a real trip, too. Almost all of them are a fun diversion, really.
Yeah she’s hilarious. Weird isn’t a bad thing, but…I mean just check out her channel. Plush spider episode? 🫥
Also an unexpectedly fun trip. “Weird and great” is pretty accurate for the channel!
The longer the better. All videos should have a minimum length of 1 hour.
For me - not necessarily for concentrated viewing, but I can deal better with some boring tasks when I have something in the background that keeps my brain occupied, be it a podcast, a long video essay, or whatever else.
Agreed on background
Yes. I watch essays even longer that that.
I can watch two of those per workday, on my bus commute to/from work. Usually end up watching history documentaries instead (currently going through a 6 hours one detailing the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gonna be an interesting week)
