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:

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.

Dan Olson and Cody Johnston are absolute treasures
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.
I love watching Pyrocynical videos. Good editing and writing grabs your attention anyway.
That cheeky bugger got me with his eight hour Utopia video.
I love em'. Better than anything else on TV imo. I love a full breakdown of an analog horror ARG or an internet mystery rabbit hole deep dive. And usually because ots just one dedicated creator with no deadline/boss/focus group/format to appease, they have so much more character, charm and uniquenes.. There's no studio who could hold my attention with the cookie cutter slop on any of the streaming platforms.
Yeah. Sometimes I get a bit fidgety and like to do something with my hands, so I'll do some knitting or something, but I always pay attention primarily to the video. I feel like I don't really remember anything from videos if I listen to them in the background.
I will easily watch four 15 minute long videos, but I need to schedule some dedicated time to watch one hour-long video, or I'll probably fall asleep.
Yeah I play them when I'm coming or having dinner. I don't think I'd bother watching them the same way I'd sit down to watch a movie, though.
When you're what?
