      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, even if you enjoyed it. 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.
