i cannot figure it out

here's some jackass with a bad camera and mic and 0 production value, watch this 2hr vid

i know that's a generalization but even well produced youtube content is a chore to watch when it's television or movie length

i guess the stuff i click on youtube requires watching. listening wouldn't be the same.

maybe i should curate more listening content.

Longer YouTube videos I watch at 1.5 speed.

I swear a lot of them purposely speak slower to pad the video time. When at this speed, it sounds like it should have been originally and cuts a 25 minute video into a much more manageable time

But I dont feel like watching content on a computer or laptop like that. If I was watching something like 5 minutes I wouldnt mind but my content tends to be 20-30 minutes just about.

Well it helps if it's something I'm actually interested in.
Something I've noticed is that if I have a handheld game, it's a lot easier for me to put long videos or Let's Plays on and kinda half pay attention to them. I'm not proud of that though.

If you actually enjoy the content you're watching, then it being 25+ minutes isn't that big of a deal. I've sat down to watch a Mario Maker video going "I'll just watch a few minutes of this" and 40 minutes later I'm still watching it xD

Some are mini documentaries, rather than talk about all the fluff, they deal with the important parts.

I do agree that some people can waffle on about garbage.

And I tend to watch YT through TV anyway.

I just skip to the exciting bits if it's a long vlog style vid with a few stunts thrown in (rest just filler talking and prep work). I mainly watch adventure/extreme sports related stuff on youtube

Sometimes ill binge animal videos ofc but those tend to be pretty short. I like the ones that take place in the African savannah

One by one. If looks interesting, I'll put it in watch later. Then when I have time, I'll give it a few minutes to see if it catches my attention enough to watch the whole thing. If it doesn't, I stop watching it.
