It's pretty clear you dont watch long form video content, most of the time they're quite thoroughly written and well prepared. I haven't seen long form video content that actually is just pure rambling, they're pretty generally well structured. I don't even watch them typically but the effort that goes into them is above just rambling lol, and you can tell they were actually written and scripted... Almost resembling an essay.... How strange....
I do appreciate some 10-15 minute videos on a subject and I'd agree that they often are well planned and structured. Many of the hour long videos though, I feel could have been 10 minute videos that the creator has put effort into making longer mainly in order to make the video longer (I don't even know if there is more money in longer videos, or its just a way of showing more ads maybe?)
I do mostly agree. Honestly, I think a lot of people just don't know how to be concise and effective with less. You could definitely trim down in most cases. But I think extremely long form content is a different type of beast, typically made by very passionate people and made for very passionate people who also like having extreme detail in the content they're consuming.
I see it like this: if you're an extreme fan of deus ex, maybe you hearing someone talk for 3 hours about how good the game is and going into many details of the game is exactly what you want. You don't watch to learn something new, but just to mutually appreciate the game
