Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

  I’ve wondered who had the attention span for hour long videos on youtube or even 10 minute long ones once the algorithm started prioritizing those over short form. Most youtubers just aren’t that good enough to be able to deliver something compelling for a long length of time, which was why short and to the point videos is what I miss about old YouTube.

    I regularly watch hour+ videos, and there’s quite a few 10+ hour videos I’ve enjoyed. Just gotta find the right people.

      10 hour long videos!? What the hell. What can be that interesting for 10 hours from YouTube? Is it actual full written tv shows or documentary tv series?

        Super deep dive into games and their lore mostly, although the super long ones tend to be named like, ‘a quick retrospective of game’
