I was considering making this one an hourAnybody want to give cliff's notes on this? I can't handle watching their videos, way too long
But then they'll stress out that they may not be "first" to post.I think people need to stop posting videos without a summary of what’s in it. The info provided might be interesting but the majority of these guys are more than annoying and babble on and on for hours. Most of us have better things to do that dealing with click bait and wasting another 15-30 minutes.
I like your style!I was considering making this one an hour
I'll just have to watch it on 0.5x speed.I was considering making this one an hour
Personally I have watched a few of your videos and while long, they are interesting most of the way through. It doesn't seem like there's much filler. But since I also only have time to watch things during my work day, my abillity to focus on any one thing more than like 15-20 minutes is rare, before work actually gets in the way. I completely understand how and why it can be beneficial for you and your team with the longer videos, though.The YouTube world supports long videos - our watch time increases the longer the video - personally, I don't make videos to please algorithms but rather explain all testing procedures. For those who are truly interested, they'll watch and our numbers show that. You can be upset our videos are long but we are incentivized, on multiple fronts, to keep them this way
I did a ride along with you in the rivian when you had to make a U-turn. It was long but it was very pleasant. Like listening to the ocean sound in the background. when I am busy, I still can get what I want out of them. in a comp video like this, folks can just slide to the end. you are fine. as long as there is a method to your madness, folks with different time resources can use them differently.The YouTube world supports long videos - our watch time increases the longer the video - personally, I don't make videos to please algorithms but rather explain all testing procedures.

At the end of the day, what Kyle does is a business. The longer the video the more YT Premium $$$ it generates. We may not realize it, but creators are monetized by watch duration time now in addition to AdSense dollars.The YouTube world supports long videos - our watch time increases the longer the video - personally, I don't make videos to please algorithms but rather explain all testing procedures.

I agree with you that the videos are way too long. If you give him a chance and sit through it, you will get generally good insight but you do have to sit through a lot of stuff that should have been left on the cutting room floor. Hopefully he takes this constructive criticism to heart and spends a little more effort cutting down his videos.Anybody want to give cliff's notes on this?

I usually post these videos right when I see them on the way the work in the morning, so you guys are watching it pretty close to when I am. I usually just play it in the background at 1.5 speed or if it’s a really long video just skip to the end.I think people need to stop posting videos without a summary of what’s in it.
