Do I care about EVE Online? No, not at all. Did I watch a 5hr+ video about the history of EVE Online? Oh boy did I!
That video is dope. Dude hadn't posted on YouTube in 2 years and then drops a 6 hour video on EVE Online. We almost lost him to that fuckin game, lmao.
As someone that played that game from 2014 to 2021…
Don’t play that game..
My character turns 10 next year, and I’m planning on doing a charity livestream where I spend all of my money on shitty fleets, getting blown up a lot, and when the ISK runs out, biomassing the character.
I played with Goonswarm back during their rise to power in 2005-2010, probably the most interesting time period in the game.
I agree, avoid it like the plague and just read about it instead. The game itself is a boring grind and playing at the top level is basically a full time job.
I want front row seats, I'll download and login to the game to watch it live, maybe join you in biomassing my dude who'll be barely hours old
He hadn't posted because of how much work he and his team were putting into the EVE Online video. They wanted to do justice to the topic and I think they succeeded.
During that time he was still streaming on Twitch regularly so he didn't just drop off the planet.
Yeah, I couldn't do that one. I did like 30 minutes and got tired of it. That's like half a day of talking about the same thing.
I'm a long form content junkie.
Do people actually sit down and watch these focused? I see longer and longer videos on YouTube because the algorithm seems to favour those, but for me, the longer it is, the more chance it has to be played as background noise or not played at all.
There are a few good ones that are absolutely worth watching, also kinda ones where if you don't pay attention it's meaningless.
from Folding Ideas:
as an into to him a 17 minute (nugget sized, lol) piece about Jamie Oliver and his Weird war on Nuggets:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-a9VDIbZCU&pp=ygUaZm9sZGluZyBpZGVhcyBqYW1pZSBvbGl2ZXI%3D
if you like that you might wanna check out his longer videos, the most well known is probably:
The Line goes up - The problem with NFTs 2h 18m It's a rundown of Crypto's and NFTs and explainer of what they are their socio economical roots etc, really good.
Contrepeneurs - The mikkelsen twins 1h 50m A good video about a layered ponzi scheme.
The Future is a Dead Mall - Decentraland and the Metaverse 1h 50m this about the metaverse and similar "second life clones"
This is financial advice - 2h 30m A deep dive into GME, Apes, Diamond Hands and MOASS, also really good.
Why it's rude to suck at World of Warcraft, 1h 25m really interesting video about WoW, game design and the meta game around WoW
In Search of Flat earth - 1h 16m deep dive into flat earthers
Another really good Video by a different Channel, some more news
A Brief Look at Jordan Peterson - 2h 55m - A methodical, step by step dismantlement of the idea that Jordan Peterson is anything else than a Right Winger and a moron.
Video essays are like the perfect cross between a podcast and an audiobook. They're long enough to put on while I'm doing something else, like cleaning or studying, but short enough to get through in one sitting. And then if I need a break from what I'm doing, I can focus on the video for a little.
I do. I don't do nothing while I do it, but I do other things as background, and treat that as foreground.
I also do what you do, but I definitely also consume them as a primary thing.
Pretty much all the things I am subscribed to make 20-45 minute videos and I watch them like any other TV show of the same length.
The things I throw on just to have something in the background are way longer. 4 hour stream VODs. 10 hours of music. 24/7 AI generated bullshit.
I focus for 15 minutes as I don't have time for 4 hours, but then they end and I realize I've lost another day.
This 5 second scene from the Simpsons my analysis [12:34:12]
There is a german youtuber who does a "5 minute Harry Podcast" where she analyzes 5 minutes of the first Harry Potter movie each time and they are mostly half an hour to an hour long.
There’s a podcast I listen to where they talk about a random episode of Top of the Pops. Each episode of TOTP was usually around 25 minutes, each episode of that podcast averages 5 hours at this point.
It’s glorious.
Big TOTP community over on Mastodon. We would be very interested in the name of this podcast please.
Hbomb posted a new video?
Roblox_oof.mp3 is a masterpiece.

Every time I see something I like on YouTube my first reaction is .... how long is the video.
Ten minutes? Great, learn something new in ten minutes
Half an hour? Good, I have some time for that.
An hour? Maybe if I feel up to it
Six hours!!!! Who the hell has that much time?
Second monitor while I browse
Mine is more like:
10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?
Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.
An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn't skimping in details! Time to learn something.
Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.
Did someone say hour-long video-game essays?
Found this fascinating one about the old flash game World's Hardest Game:
Currently 4h24m into Flaw Peacock's 7h42m analysis of Who's Lila? and loving every minute
yess I spent a weekend watching that when it first came out and it was an awesome watch. I think about 4 hrs in is when I finally realized his name was a euphemism lol
Must be part 1 of PatricianTV playing Skyrim.
Motherfucker did "Morrowind Analysis: A quick retrospective" in just under 8 hours. For fans of Elder Scrolls, it's worth watching.
A four hour stream of someone fixing a device I don’t own and likely never will – gimme. So satisfying, though I have no use whatever for this knowledge.
Guys..... you can't post this meme and not tell which one it is !
Me with speed running explanations.
I don't even give a shit about speed running. I just like hearing how people figure out weird ass glitches. Though most of the time, the explanation literally boils down to "they got extremely lucky." Like the current world record for E2M3 in Quake.
Makes me think of Summoning Salt, he does one hell of a job telling a story in each of his "history of world records" videos.
This was me yesterday except I found out that all of the episodes of Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist are on YouTube.
Did someone say video essay?
Honestly, I expected at least 24 hours for the complete history of Rome.
Literally me when Josh Strife Hayes posted the AdventureQuest video
Worst MMO Ever is incredible. The time and attention he spends deep diving into truly terrible MMOs is an artistic labor of love. I could never do it but I sure enjoy watching him do it for me.
Fredrik Knudsen's 9 hour long Eve Online video, here we come!
I just want to learn about what is happening with his hair? Is it morphing into a cat? Does he have a placemat weaved into it?
Nexpo gang say "yeaaah!"
Edit* Also, Manykudos, Internet Historian, WavyWebSurf, Jacob Geller, The Cursed Judge and the king of kings, Karl Jobst.
Jenny Nicholson is my weak spot. Defunctland and Down the Rabbit Hole are also great.
Omg, the Evermore one was so bad because it was so good but actually 4 hours long. I lost one whole day of free time to that video. Lol
