I’m halfway through. But I also like Joseph Anderson and Noah Caldwell-Gervais. So I’m used to these kind of behemoths. It’s good.

I was super excited this video come out, and immediately posted it to the video community.
I’m still excited, but I guess everyone forgot about him and hates video essayists now. The metrics are horrible. I feel bad, I worked 2 years.

It has over 612k views in 22 hours but if the watch time is low that’s probably because everyone is waiting for their chance to properly watch it. Also I personally wouldn’t call these video essays they’re more like documentaries. Not that it matters but if there’s backlash against video essays I’d really like channels like this to not be included in that.

This is a straight up documentary. I feel like he should have released it in hour-to-hour-and-a-half parts, but massive respect for coming outta nowhere after two years and dropping this fucking masterpiece

I agree. Based on the negative feedback, I think that’s how it’s going 😢

I mean it’s hard to sell a 6 hour video. I immediately wanted to watch it when it showed up in my feed, but then paused when I saw the run time. I WANT to watch it, but that’s a massive chunk.

I think they presume that, if you are already into EVE Online, you aren't too concerned with sinking shame-inducing amounts of time into your entertainment.

I know what you mean. EVE is an interesting project, but SIX HOURS? Damn.

I think people prefer essays on events/people over a 5 hour game documentary.

It’s both
