I don't know if this was an homage to this classic shitty_watercolour meme, but I wanted to share it anyway as it's such a classic.
Thanks for sharing it!
“just one more video”
opens 6h hbomberguy video essaythat’s so last year long video
in 2025 we watch *videos with days in the time counter
That’s a really short video!
Maybe they’re like me and watch stuff at 2.5x
Exactly what you need to fall asleep :D
I’m sorry that the world has hurt you so
Music is still 1x, so are movies and TV shows.
Its just podcasts and yt thats 2.5-3.
Podcasts make sense to me, if there’s a lot of barely edited rambling
I understand, I do the same sometimes (though at 1.5x) and I’m very upset that my mindless consumption of the internet has made me this way, and now it’s much harder to stop. I very much understand why attention spans are shortening, and it hurts.
I do 1.5x as well, but that’s already speedy for me. 2.5x sounds unwatchable, how do you absorb anything?
chipmunk on cocaine noises that sounds vaguely like words
Oh yeah, I totally understand
Our brains are fucked no doubt
2.5???
Up to 3, but 2.5 as the standard.
my man
The best kind. It’s annoying that interesting vids are all 10, 20, or even 40 min long
I too hate it when people are trying to cover complex stuff properly instead of giving an almost-but-not-really correct digest
Idk why you need to be that condesending and binary, you can cover an interesting stuff without being too complicated. The art of covering interesting topic in brief is long gone after Tom Scott left the scene it seems.
Edit: Internet Shaquille and Ted-Ed is always worth mentioning. Not every topic need to be overcomplicated 50min long essay.
Chris Spargo aint bad
YouTube made a change to their content curation algorithm a few years ago, which favors longer videos, because they can fit more ads into those. As a result, even topics that could be perfectly covered in shortform videos get documentary-length videos.
But actually creating a densely packed documentary is a lot of work, so instead you get three intros, an unboxing, a tasting and half a life story for a video on how to bake a bread.
TBH I mostly watch YouTube videos for entertainment, videos being 40 min. long is a good thing.
Maybe like one music video idk
you < red
