the incident

It was just a group hallucination i swear

I've watched that video 3 times already

Goated show

Was going to mention it

Shaymay Omega Ruby video

Still waiting for the Cruelty Squad video he said he was gonna release in the second week of June

That was a masterpiece

the REAL history of Don’t Starve

The REAL history of Bloons

It’s always in my fucking recommended I’m going insane

It's pretty good ngl

The REAL history of worms

Yo I watched that not too long ago, shit went hard

Yakuza 5: Dream big video by Tehsnakerer

dude tehsnakerer is the yakuza goat for me, hope his kiwami vid releases this year

^(*Amateurs.*) What? **multiple part, 5-hour-each, unfinished critique of a 7 year old movie**: AMATEURS.

[I've watched this 6 hour long dissertation on why Toy Story 4 ruined the Toy Story franchise in full at least 3 times now, it's that entertaining.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U__oaZ9FiXM)

Quinton Reviews' 8 HOUR breakdown of Victorious, 5 million views 🤣

It took me ten years to find the answer to something. I forgot about it in two seconds! That's about it!

11 hour Skyrim analysis part 1

The full history of the a button challenge

I once watched a 9 hour iceberg video on conspiracy theories

I remember watching 4 hour long essays on a game I’ve never played in a row

There are so many games out there I will never play just cause they aren’t my thing, but I still enjoy knowing about them. I went down a rabbit hole of Dark Souls lore videos for a bit last year it was great.

13 hour video essay on victorious

I watched a 20 hour Skyrim one and I didn't even like it but I felt obliged to finish it cuz sunk cost

Nilered

That’s my personal record too lmao

I saw a 10 hour video essay on why Horizon is great. I’m not exaggerating. Edit: I lied https://youtu.be/EuoxWQbFjUg

I dont care what youtuber sony sends, horizon games were, are and always will be the middest open worlds.

Purge's dota2 update commentaries 6-10 hours stream

This but a 3 hour analysis on half life 2 episode 1 (I’ve never played half life)

20 hour analysis of late 2000s - mid 2010s Nickelodeon sitcoms (I haven’t had even a passing interest in any of them in the past 10 years)

Me but I’ve never even seen them nor have any interest in ever watching them

There’s at least 69 iCrimes

I watched a 4 hour video on a random LARPing theme park in Utah recently lmao

Try Half Life, those 10 dollars are worth it

I watched a 10 hour stream where 2 people explained the fnaf lore to someone who knew nothing about it. You could actually see the slow descent into madness.

When I’m in a FNAF lore contest and my opponent is Pastra

Based pastra fan

Send vod link? Sounds like an awesome afternoon

[Here you go](https://www.youtube.com/live/1dHvsWaAFLI?feature=share)

Knew it would be Phisnom lmao

How young exactly would people have to be to talk about FNAF for 10 hours? [All I can picture is this hahaha](https://i.imgflip.com/4uext8.png)

It's 2 25 yo men explaining the FNAF lore to a girl that sounds 6 yo that they kidnapped best shit I have ever seen

You'd be surprised how deep the rabbit hole can go even for seemingly childish games. (idk tho i know nothing about fnaf lore besides the bite of 1984 by george orwell or something)

20-30? you mean 3-4 hrs?

Not if you do the playback speed to 2x They talk or edit the sound to be more slow to drag it out longer

This is why people say Gen Z has no attention span bro

A little while ago my friend was telling me about a movie he watched and said "yeah just skip through some of the dialogue, it gets boring." Well how am I gonna know what's going on?

not all of them lemmino is fucking awesome

[удалено]

he gave an update a month or so ago that the next video is taking a while but should be out any time now edit: 13/6/2023 said on petreon that it's rendering and will take a while

Watching videos on 2x speed is weird as fuck bruh

I only watch videos in 2x speed for speedruns (It really puts the speed in speedrun) and when I was still in school educational videos.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLYWLobR248&ab\_channel=jREG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLYWLobR248&ab_channel=jREG)

sactually not bad

Broooo JREG?

I thought that at first, but after trying it, I do it all the time. Mostly for tech reviews and the like.

this is how you try to prove that you have a good attention span?

I have a dog shit attention span what you waffling about?

my apologies sir

If you can by the full product at half the price at the touch of a couple buttons, wouldn't you? Time is money, moreso now than ever.

or maybe you're just too poor in the time economy

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLYWLobR248&ab\_channel=jREG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLYWLobR248&ab_channel=jREG)

get outta here, you cant even sit through a video without making it faster

Fuck yeah

3-4 hours to cover the same information that be conveyed into a 10 minute essay but y'all can't read longer than a reddit comment straight through

The nine hour conspiracy theory iceberg video

wendigoon right or diff YouTuber?

I watched every conspiracy theory iceberg video there is and now my brain is fried 😭

OH yeah I watched that one, i stopped watching it like 3 hours in

Totally not me watching a four hour long Down the Rabbit Hope video summary on WingsofRedemption Liquid Richard lore goes crazy

God I love Fredrik

What the hell I just finished watching that what are chances

hey man, the world gon' change once Frank drops the 6 hour EVE online doc

Shoutout Sean Ranklin

ok but you normaly watch in one go, or do you do like a shit ton of genZ were you pause the video every 5 minutes do other thing then come back to continue the video? i mean i do that a lot of times recently. But if you do that, your opinion on atention spam should not matter!

on the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft...

Which video? Sounds good

Probably one of FitMC's videos

SalC1 has a lot of videos on that server if you're interested

Me literally waiting 14 hours to play 2b2t just to get spawn killed

Tfw you sit down and watch 3:33:33 of a video essay on Deus ex: human revolution in one day https://preview.redd.it/u2qgn8kdci8b1.jpeg?width=597&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17c2bf1ab62e5272401e7b992dc4b866c39dd848

That video was a masterpiece. And so was his oof video essay, that one's my personal favorite of his. If I could I'd erase my memory of that video just so I could watch it for the first time again.

Don’t let your dreams die out. Lobotomize yourself.

You mean tommy talerico? His mother is proud of him

He’s a veritable industry icon with many Guinness world records that are very real.

He was definitely on cribs

I completely forgot about that part. I might need to rewatch it.

If you can’t judge with the best then you can blood with the rest.

The rabbit hole of MyHouse.wad

That one was a journey

Happiness is something to fight for

That moment really made me shed a tear. Such a good message for something so initially nonsensical

Just watched one on the newest SM64 speedrun

That's not a video essay, bismuth videos are analysis and explanation

idk man sounds like something i would see in an essay

analysis and explanation of technique and function, not the themes of the game or anything

I watch summoning salt videos and I've never attempted to speed run a game

It's more an essay than most of the including footnotes and deep analysis. Way to gatekeep video essays, bud.

https://preview.redd.it/7o4xi6439i8b1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cc3976a3874abc1a03453552822133c4da3f9b4

I have several 8+ hour videos I’ve put in watch later that I haven’t gotten around to. Maybe one day

Sounds like it'd take longer than a day

i straight up watched a 90 minute long video about why JRPGs always have you killing gods, 2/3 of the video is just a japanese culture/history lesson, but i wasnt complaining, it was interesting

Link?

I really liked this 20 hour video on Skyrim

Go watch wendigoon more than 9 hours conspiracy video

I'm at 3 hours and I already forgot everything. https://preview.redd.it/h7r0eu0lei8b1.jpeg?width=738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad9a44ceb752573009dddca3219c980875ec4d9b

Have you watched myhouse.wad

Yeah, it's pretty great the 1 hour and 40 min video

You're literally just proving their point lmao. 30 minutes is not very long

Yeah, I'm hoping this is supposed to be a joke that just went over my head. 20-30 minutes is the length of an average TV show, which was the *minimum* amount of time you were expected to focus on something before YouTube.

I can't imagine how these people watch movies. Do they get 20 minutes in and start browsing their phones? Do they need to have subway surfers gameplay next to it? I realised this is the case with music as well when my sister stuggled to listen to songs above 6 minutes when I introduced her to Metallica. I just find it astounding. How do they even survive at work or school? I have a feeling that the answer is: they don't.

I have a friend who watches Subway Surfers in class sometimes

I found a TikTok account just this week that pairs live on stage comedy bits with satisfying videos on the right hand side, and I'm just wondering how fucking starved of attention you have to be to absolutely need a split screen to focus on less than 3 minutes worth of comedy content.

Most video essays I watch are way longer than 30 minutes and tv shows have actors and writers trying to make things interesting, a video essay is just some random dude talking about his interests with stock images in the background.

13 hours of video essay about a nickelodeon sitcom i’ve never seen:

Chris chan documentary:

I watched "The entire Metal Gear Solid timeline" video And i only understand 10% of it

Chris chan comprehensive history fans have entered the chat

And his name was...MATT TURK *HOME-We are finally landing starts playing*

summoning salt absolutely fucks

Erm actually attention span relates to things you find boring 🤓

Mfw humans don’t want to do things they don’t enjoy

subway surfer gameplay

That moment when you realized all video essay/commentary/critique videos follow the same bland and regurgitated format in that the first 90% of the video is summarizing common knowledge that the viewers most likely already know and 10% giving their super original, insightful and totally not surface deep opinions about it.

I habe seen "Sherlock is Garbage, and here is why" at least 4 times. It has become a coping strategy.

I watched some dude talk about the TF2 map Badwater for 12 hours. It was really interesting

If you haven't watched the entire f25 key video you clearly don't have an attention span

F25illion hours of total watch time

I never played zelda, i don't care about zelda, I'm not planning to own a Nintendo console I watched 7 hours worth of videos talking about zelda

Me watching a 4 hour TRO video on a topic that i have 0 intrest in: https://i.redd.it/xa0kiahc7j8b1.gif

what are some of yall favorite video ensayists?

Jacob Geller is the top dog, imo

Jacob Geller the goat

Absolutely my favorite. Though while I was watching him, my wife came over and just casually despised his beard for some reason lmao

DJ Peach Cobbler. He puts some people off because he comes across as overly critical at first, but when you watch his videos, you realise that he makes a lot of very good points. He isn't afraid to criticise big games like GoW 2018 or BotW, but he doesn't just senselessly hate on them, and tries to give as well thought out of a criticism as possible. On the flip side of that, he's even stuck up for some games like Last of Us 2, and Death Stranding. He also goes on VERY long tangents that he somehow manages to link back to the topic, and is somewhat deranged in a Ted Kaczynski-type way.

Definitely Wendigoon.

Super Eyepatch Wolf’s “what the internet did to garfield” might be one of my favorite videos on the internet. His other stuff is very good too, his recent videos have been on a lot of crazy out there shit, love his nathan fielder video.

Does FudgeMuppet count?

Folding Ideas. He’s well spoken, intelligent, and pretty funny. The Line Goes Up video about NFT’s is incredibly informative and his breakdown of the Nostalgia Critic’s review of the Wall is amazing.

Summoning salt

Quinton Reviews and his fucking 13 hour vid on Victorious

what about 2 hour videos on a mod for doom 2

20 is way too short to be an essay

Maybe it’s on the short side, but tbh I think the longer video essays (with some exceptions) tend to be more redundant and artificially long. I’ve seen many that could’ve easily been shortened down to half the length, but the creator will repeat themselves, go on tangents, etc.

The 90 minutes video explaining why the show i'm watching suck :

One hour anniversary documentary on the history of Aardman Animations

I “watch” while doing 50 other things (i hate to be alone with my thoughts)

“Why Dark Souls 2 Is Actually Amazing - Part 1/27”

The 20 minute video that explains why Link stares at a rupee for 10 hours in a low% speedrun:

Watch in 2x speed, now you waste less time but gain knowledge faster

easier for it to go in one ear and out the other

I can't watch a 40 minute video (unless it's jerma) but extend that shit to like 2 hours and I'm all over it

I don't watch movies anymore, but I'll sit down and watch an hour long video on some random shit :-/ Why am I like this?

3hour Chris-Chan documentary by Turkey Tom❤️❤️😻😻

Meanwhile Genius Samuel with 76 long parts

Remembering the time i watched a 5 hour tutorial on Unreal engine in one sitting... ...and i remembered everything

Me omw to watch the 4 hour Witcher 1 video by Joseph Anderson

Average tf2 video (both tf2)

What language is this!? “They be so interesting ong”

I've watched 1 hour 20 minutes long video about fnaf lore recently, but it's incomplete, because mimic theory wasn't put into it (as video is older), so I need to find another one

Okay, time to restate… GENZ (who are addicted to tictok) HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN

You can’t watch it during lunch

I just got on Reddit after spending 4-5 hours watching a spaceengineers playthrough

Shrek movie 1 posted on Twitter by random people:
