A fairly popular youtuber I follow has called Jim Serling’s videos “great 5 minute videos stretched to 20 minutes”. There was a point in time when the yt algo was favoring ~11 minute videos, so a lot of content creators would make a glut of low info videos stretched to that mark. It was so bad, that I was refusing to click anything around the runtime. Now, if I catch someone start reiterating themselves early on, I just close the video.
edit: One example of the ~11 minute video people was CinimaSins. They were never very good, but could be funny in small doses. When they started to stretch the video length, you started to realize how pedantic and media illiterate they were.
Sure, I guess it does exist based on the sheer volume of content on YouTube. I’d just have to wade through a pile of schlock to get to it. Show me the part of YouTube that only has videos that cut right to the chase without meaningless exposition, ads and self promotion littered throughout the video.
Good thing there’s plenty of content that isnt that format on the site

I love how Skippy62able has never changed , I find he is a channel that perfectly embodies what old youtube was really about
