I watch like 80% of that video when it showed up on my feed the other day before I realized I never even played SM64 (I had a SNES and then Playstation, never N64), and I really don't care about it that much. It was interesting enough to keep me that long though, so it's a good video.
Pannenkoek is a god when it comes to SM64 and its quirks. He teamed up with a streamer to make SM64 crash due to a float to signed integer conversion. They theorized the idea and used a real console on normal speed and timed it, so the crash would happen precisely at New Year's 2023. Performing this particular crash takes 39 days, 14 hours and about 52 minutes.
No worries. There are a lot of instances out there if you have any playback issues, want to search for an instance from within a certain country, or want to create an account. You can export your subscriptions and use it on mobile apps like NewPipe.
I got like 3 hours into a 50 hour Chris Chan documentary before I realized I had no idea who this autistic kid was and I wasn't even invested in if he ever found a "boyfriend-free girl".
I think you might be like me and be an unmedicated ADHD person.
I had a 3 day period where I watched DIY men's fashion videos. I have never sewed, have barely any interest but I have theoretical knowledge on how to make a pair of knickerbockers.
Quinton Reviews is the Darksouls boss of long commentary videos. His latest (that was taken down) was actually 38 hrs of his dad talking about Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.
Hey man, just because someone smokes weed and enjoys learning about the connected universe of a tv show they've never watched or a 4 and a half hour in-depth history of a character from an obscure fps franchise that leads you down a rabbit hole of even more weird and obscure videos untill you're sitting there at 3am watching the rise and fall or a 500bc civilisation getting furious at a king that's been dead for so long they've turned into coal like he's personally slighted your family, now you're sitting here trying to find more information so you can finish what your ancestors started so your family curse can end and your grandfather can finally rest....
I really hate these really long videos. They don't have to be all sub-10 minutes for me, but lately I have seen some previously pretty solid Youtubers post 1.5 hour long videos, consisting for at least one third of rehashed older videos. The rest isn't all that much content either, and could be half shorter with some good editing.
I love the long videos if they have the content to support it. But I have definitely bounced from some that are very clearly just trying to pad the length for more ad revenue. The people I tend to watch seem pretty well paced in every video, no complaints about them. I hope the solid YouTubers you like are just having a down month or something.
'video essay' is such a cringe attempt at re-branding. You're too lazy to fucking read and won't consume any content unless it's effortless and entertaining.
I call a class of video video essays, and I think the term has value. Those videos have the form of an essay, they follow an essay structure. Lindsay Ellis makes video essays
That's different to a video lecture, which is a much more common type. A video lecture tries to teach you something. Lindybeige, and Astrographics and many others do lectures
Then there are a dozen other genres. I think it's the lectures that get long.
I watches a four and half hour video on string theory I can tell you it was not effortless. it was entertaining but holy fuck I had to stop a few times to even wrap my head around some concepts
Me when someone makes a four hour video about Mario 64 invisible walls

Super Mario 64 you say? May I introduce you to our lord and savior summoning salt?

Yeah, that's the exact video that made me post the meme
pannen is doing gods work
i love that man and his videos like nothing else
A man of culture, I see.
How else am I going to find out about TempleOS and poisoned Austrian wine?
* The above videos are by Fredrik Knudsen
The EVE Online doc was legendary
Six hours!
I'd like to watch that TempleOS one but they want me to log in for the age verification. I cannot get piped to bypass that.
You can use an Individious instance. It's an open source front end. Here is a link to one with the TempleOS video

Thank you!

“This video is about James Somerton.”
We all know this meme is refering to hbomberguy.
Mrgirl and black holes...
hbomberguy uploaded another video?

I just watched 3 hours of sewing machine comparisons. I don't sew or have any plans to.

How DARE you sir? I mean, you are probably right.

I only got to hour 30 when it was taken down, so I had to download the 23gb video from archive
The point at which you realize marijuana has affected your judgment.
Never smoked a day in my life but I'd drop plans for a new summoning salt

Escapism: "I put the fires out!"
Nobody: "You made them WORSE."
Escapism: "Wooorse? Or better?"
I watched the entire video in question totally sober
"Essay" makes it sound like someone rambling about drama in the High Pressure Sodium Lamps community had that shit scripted.
A 38 hour video on beverly hillbillies
Summoning salt...I don't play much games and sure as shit don't speed run but for some reason I CANNOT STOP!!!
OH BOY. MY FAVORITE.

Is this what I sound like when I complain about tiktok?
Sooner or later we all become boomers

Incorrect.
Correct. I'm trying to enjoy my leisure time, not write a thesis paper.
You know documentaries existed for decades, right?
Fuck Attentionborough! He ain't read shit!
You're right. I should listen to audiobooks instead.
Some people don't real all the books in the sources?
