    I think it’s new, he decided to add it to attract Tucker Carlson. I don’t know who would watch a whole 20 minute video on their phone though.

      I would. Not on Twitter though because their video player sucks

        I just don’t see the reason to do it.

        If I have time to watch a 20min video it’s because I’m at home doing nothing and home is where my TV and computers are. If the only thing I have is my phone that means I’m out doing something, so I don’t have time to watch a 20min video.

          My child will watch a 20-minute video on any device capable of displaying it.

          I sometimes watch long YouTube videos on my phone while in my living room, where my huge screen also is. Don’t ask me why, but I like it.

          Either that or you’re commuting in a country with good signal coverage, for instance. I live in a hilly region in Europe, so streaming while commuting is difficult because of tunnels, but it can be done.

          Good thing your personal experiences are the only possible way to live. For a second there we were dangerously close to self awareness!

            Good thing I said “”“I”“” don’t see the reason to do it, as in this is my use case for me personally . For a second there I was dangerously far from saying “No one should ever”

      Will i watch videos on my phone rather than my computer? no

      will i watch videos on my phone rather than staring into the distance and feeling the state of the world slowly and agonizingly send me into a spiral of depression and anxiety?

      Yeah.

      My wife will binge watch TV shows on her phone. Ones with epic views like The Expanse. I don’t get it but she’s fine with it.

      I have a friend who watches entire movies on his phone. It appalls me, but a lot of people do it.

          Meh, I’ve got a 4k phone with Dolby atmos. I’m fine watching a movie on it. As a technophile and audiophile, it’s hitting everything it needs to hit for me. I do prefer to watch in my VR headset overall, but VR headsets are still only up to the equivalent of 1080p at a comfortable field of view. Still pretty good, but the main upside for VR is perfect 3D, I’m one of the weirdos that likes 3D.

          But, I do get that at the time of this recording, he had a 4-6 inch diagonal phone with a single tinny speaker and 576p screen in mind, and that would indeed not be a great way to watch a movie. Though if people like it, no real reason to be snobby to them about it, they just don’t care about the same thing he does/we do.

      I would if i was on a train. I don’t know if I would do it with Twitter’s video player though…

      On Twitter? God no. But elsewhere people would be more likely to watch long form content on their phones than you’d think

      In some countries, a phone as a daily computer for everything is much more popular than actual computers.
