Get with the times unc.
I fall asleep to video essays every night, quite a shitty habit
>>220309605Not often but I've been slowly watching the new 4 hour video by defunctland
>>220309605desu I just use youtube for music
>>220309605Yes, usually as a sort of background noise on my second monitor.
>>220309627same but i do consume some of them
>>220309605I don't see it as any different than documentaries or journalism. I read essays frequently and learned to filter out what makes a trash essay or a good one, the same principle translates to video content 1 to 1. If they have no clear thesis or focus too heavily on controversy/polemics then it's never worth watching. I saw a rather good essay about the transition from cel animation to digital in the 90s and terrible ones usually are trying to defend some shitty media series, producing idle commentary, or sometimes even magnifying some controversy that almost no one cares about.
the format has been taken over by clickbait farming midwits so not anymore
