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.
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!
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)
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.
