Look up any video over an hour long about either a game that clearly isn't trying to have some 2deep4u message and just wants to be fun.
Also any video of similar length about a game that does have a message and story worth looking at, because the assclown making the video will completely fail at providing meaningful analysis of anything that isn't self-evident.
If you want the highest level of retardation, take the second category, but apply it to games with anything remotely "controversial". Bonus points if it's something that normally repulses these types, like an eroge.
For a final touch, keep a look out for the words "retrospective", "deep dive", "classic", "underrated", gem", "broke me", "changed X", and "overanalyzing". As an extra bit of fun, even if you can already tell it's gonna be a shit video, hover over it for a sec. If the YT preview shows a guy holding a mic (really if it shows the reviewer at all), overly fast editing, a random Spongebob clip or a clip from a game totally or only tangentally related, it's guaranteed to be giga AIDS.

Not a proper answer to OP's inquiry, but I just wanted to share this. Earlier today I was recommended a Zelda retrospective video I could tell was slop from the thumbnail and runtime. Even so, I skimmed through it out of curiosity and, it turns out the guy plagiarized videogamedunkey's Ocarina of Time video VERY blatantly lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx5VsMMghgY (OOT portion is from 9 to 13 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duPynkGEFGI

I think he ripped off stuff other than Dunkey too, because of the awkwardly placed sombre reflections on the Hero of Time.

I am so weirded out by the recent push of "essays"
>2010

If there were all these people SO passionate about analyzing games, why didn't I see them on pre-2015 internet?

>>737979029
I don't remember when it stopped, but Youtube literally did not let you upload >15 minute videos at one time.
>>
>>737979485
then you could just rant for 15 minutes. but noone did that. why?
>>
>>737979029
Like with every trend, there must have been somebody who did it well first. Maybe a couple somebodies. Then, other dudes watched those guys and wanted to do the same thing. It was worse, but most people couldn't tell the difference, they just liked how there was now more of what they liked.
Then, the guys who liked all this crap without being able to tell quality apart want to make their own, since it'd feel cool, doesn't seem that hard, and having to your own "opinion piece" about something you like makes you feel good.
Just spirals on from there. Add to that how gay the internet's gotten, how clickbait titles and thumbnails went from universally hated to accepted without batting an eye, and COVID making people crave any possible way to waste their time, and you have a perpetual motion machine of garbage whose effects we're still suffering from today. If anything, it gets worse, because more cancerous gimmicks get added on to the pile every time some asshole gets views doing it.
It wouldn't even be so bad (yes, it would, but it would be slightly less insufferable) if they weren't so fucking long. These faggots seem to believe a long video is like a badge of honor, that they have so much to say they need hours, when in reality, it's just training wheels. Instead of actually condensing their points down, they can just keep in whatever meaningless thought passes through their heads.
I daresay "video essay culture" is antithetical to critical thinking and discourse. It's wiki summaries disguised as those things.

not really an essay, more like a documentary, but i listened to it all day at work today and it was very fascinating and also not very homosexual. Did you know that Eve Online featured the biggest virtual battle in history?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCSeISYcoyI&t=3243s

another vidya related topic this guy covered was a cult based around FF7. I know these vids get millions of views but he posts really scarcely and I've never heard anyone talk about his channel, neither here nor irl

>but noone did that. why?
People absolutely did that, AVGN episodes may have had skits and been structured to some extent but they were largely just rants about frustrating games. There's also people like Arin Hanson, the first Sequelitis episode came out in 2011 and was much closer to the kind of "video essays" that crop up now than most realize / want to admit.

I actually didn't like the EVE one very much. I enjoyed seeing the developers' contempt for their fans yet still being forced to maintain the game because they can't do anything else right. That was neat. The actual "story" being told? Doesn't really go anywhere.

Fuck rants and essays, give me some actually interesting videos on vidya. Like, autistic-tier deep diving into various rabbit holes, obscure games that have been barely covered on youtube yet or, heck, even mods will do.
I enjoyed Whomobile's series about weird tf2 maps greatly, so more of this would be very nice.

You wouldn't recognise a good video if you found it. All of you faggots are acting like there's nothing to watch but its you who give attention to attention whores and lazy content creators.

But this is not the truth. Its your fault for watching people who drone on for 10 hours when there are guys who make great videos that are 10 minutes and are not appealing to goy cattle. You have plenty of examples in this very thread
>>
>>738002356
>10 minutes
100% you can condense those 10 minutes into 3 minutes and it would be disingenuous to think they aren't stretching words out to milk morons without an adblocker
It's funny like what >>738002238 said that the only time AI slop is good is when it actually boils down these nonsense videos into whatever reddit post they stole it from, minus the dislike of course don't want to push it further into an algorithm
>>
>>738002568
>>738002568
Its not just about what you say but also why and how you fucking retard. Not everyone is an aspiring gaming journalist, you moron. It's about visual storytelling, comedy, clever or funny jokes and commentary. Again, its your own fault for watching goy slop. If you want a 3 minute review just go to IGN. There's a difference between someone struggling to make a point and going in circles and someone actually creating a high effort video with clever writing and funny memes. Your example is good because it has soul and doesn't take itself seriously. You sound so jealous and bitter while projecting to the stratosphere lmao . I don't have a channel and I think I can do better than some people but It doesn't make me seethe like a moron

I am so fucking sick of faggot video game streamers, commentators and reviewers who feel the need to have their stupid fucking face on the goddamned screen most of the time. They just copy whatever the most popular channels do, but don't realise that it only works if you have some kind of entertainment factor, such as being a gross freak like CaseOh or Asmongold, or being a woman with clothes that shows off their tits.
