Kind of a hard sell is what I'm saying for someone to post some video that is 1.5 hours long without a huge selling point behind why this video should be watched in its entirety and what makes it so special over all the other ones. Especially if they dont even know the channel to begin with so is yet another random youtuber that's done a LTT topic video.
It's hard not to have a dismissive attitude towards a LTT topic video at this point when so many videos have been playing off the algorithm to draw views. Had seen one couple days ago where the channel said they got half their current subs after a LTT topic video.
