@dreamwastaken @sethfowIer all of that yap and not one patches pic :/

Your expectations are different when clicking on a short video and a long video because the length of the story changes. The longer the story, the deeper you expect it to be, because the video has more time to develop that story. You're okay with the side characters being developed, you're okay with the tension being drawn out. You have expectations for the level of depth based on the length. That doesn't mean that the length dictates the level of depth. That's why there are shitty videos that are an hour long and shitty videos that are 30 seconds. If your story doesn't fit the length of your video, that's essentially what a bad video is. If your story does not have enough depth to be an hour long, then it shouldn't be an hour long. If it does, then it should be. (General rule of thumb) There are some exceptions of course, where you should break your story up into parts because of human behavior and expectations, like you mentioned. Obviously you shouldn't post a 10 hour documentary. That being said, whether or not you should attempt to make a specific video is a different (haha) story. There are definitely videos that would be too long or too intricate, even if for a specific niche or topic. If you make the choice to tell that story anyway, forcing your story to fit the confines of what is expected is not what you should do. You should either 1. Not make that video or 2. Make the video whatever length it needs to be to tell the story you want to tell to the highest quality.

You know what.. I'd be inclined to almost totally disagree. Especially in the gaming niche. Shorter videos have certain expectations when clicked on, and certain viewer behaviour. If I click on a 10-15 minute video, I expect something action packed, or full of value. If I click on something that's an hour long, I expect something entertaining - with a good structure and backbone, but I understand it's unlikely the entire video will be gogogo the whole time. The former, I might be on a quick lunch break, on the treadmill. The latter I'm likely in bed, or eating dinner, or putting something on in the background. The amount of patience a viewer has for a slow moment, or too much context, or a boring section in a 10 minute video, is WAY lower than it is for an hour long video. We've seen the rise of movie channels which are literally just 5 random videos put together with no additional editing. Obviously if you're making a 1 hour documentary that requires scripting and story telling all the way through, that's harder than a 15 minute video. But for a gaming channel as an example, where the gameplay is ultimately the biggest entertainment factor, longer videos are often easier.

@dreamwastaken @sethfowIer whatever where’s six hunters rematch

@sethfowIer I'd love to hear what you disagree with me on. My statement: The length of the video should be dictated by the story the video is telling, and how long it needs to be. There is no one size fits all for how long a video should be. Hit me with where I'm wrong

I’ll preface this with, no shade to either creator - they are both very successful. HOWEVER, there are many such cases of huge creators who have been very successful with one thing, or saw success when YouTube was very different. And will then preach exactly what worked for them, or the patterns that they have personally seen as gospel. When realistically, for 99.9% of normal creators, who don’t have huge brands, or didn’t hit the right format at the right time, those same patterns won’t apply. But because they have huge followings, their fans will see it, then tell their friends, and that’s how misinformation happens. They’ve only seen one channel, or one group of channels. But they’ll talk as if they’ve seen every channel on earth. And the advice or opinions they give can be extremely harmful to up and coming creators, because it’s either inaccurate or doesn’t apply to 99% of creators. The best advice you’ll get is from creators who have been in multiple niches, have a track record of adapting, OR a seasoned strategist who has worked in many niches and has been able to find relevant patterns across many different niches. There are MANY channels under 10,000 subscribers who likely know a lot more about YouTube optimisation than the big mainstream channels.

@imperfekt4u we’re lucky if he even responds

@drmnap and his response will be “b-b-but i didn’t mean it🥺”

being any sort of trans on twitter:

the 'non-transitioning' trans man stereotype generally comes from grown adults dunking on 14 year olds for being alt and not being on testosterone that they aren't even allowed access to
