I’m going to whip out my 12 hour Oblivion retrospective that I watched in one sitting as evidence to the contrary to support his point: This video is padding, it’s very slow and it doesn’t really get to that many points.
It is OK to criticize media. This video seems to be long-form for the sake of being long-form, not because it has a lot of ground to cover. I don’t particularly care, it mostly ran in the background, but it’s a legitimate criticism.
I’ve also personally noticed that I tend to click off 10-minute videos in 2 minutes if they don’t get to a point or say something interesting, because the trend is that it’s pushing for time to keep you engaged to show you more ads and it’s a huge waste of my time. Whatever that video eventually gets around to saying could’ve been a twitter post.

ChadCat is a channel I discovered recently that does “ADHD versions” of different popular YouTuber’s videos. They’re all under a minute with a quick text recap of what was talked about in the video. I honestly really love this channel and it’s quickly become one of my all-time favorites.
I’m not trying to advocate for short form content/media, but this person takes 10 minutes+ long videos and cuts them down to about 20-40 seconds. They’ll do video essays too.
