> I remember that they used to have (and for all I know may still have) this internal policy where if you don't upload regularly (IIRC the rule was once a week and at least half an hour) your subscribers were less likely to be notified of new videos. I've been wondering why so many YouTube videos on mundane subjects are so unnecessarily long for a while now. Seems like I finally have my answer. Thanks! Although, ironically, I'm more likely to unsubscribe from a channel that routinely wastes my time with waffly, excessively padded-out videos, no matter how good the actual content.
