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
