Define too long. I like videos of up to 15 minutes. That’s long to some people. Occasionally I’ll enjoy longer videos but almost always I think to myself “you could have said the same in a much shorter video”. And I won’t even start the 4 hours bullshit rambling videos. Do people actually watch that or is it just on in the background?
Yeah the algorithm has pushed a lot of creators to 20 mind plus which can be nice for turning on while cleaning up the kitchen but sometimes I see an interesting video and Im thinking thatt if it were 5 minutes shorter I’d click but 20+ needs a lot of content to justify. Veritasium and a few others have fallen out of my rotation because there is a bit of fat on the videos these days.

Depends what the video is about.
If it’s a how-to demonstrating a long and complex process, then it should be as long as it needs to be.
But if it’s a political rant, then yeah, get to the point already.
