> The medium of YouTube is not conducive to lengthy expositions I've actually found a couple channels on YT specialising in lengthy reviews/essays, which I find very good. Off the top of my head: 1. Whitelight[1] - game reviews/critiques/analyses. Particularly worthy of note are the Assassin's Creed Unity[2] (1.5h), Batman Arkham City[3] (3h 10min) and Watch Dogs[4] (1h 15min) reviews. 2. MauLer[5] - critiques of mostly Star Wars, but sometimes also other mainstream films. The ongoing series of TFA critiques has 4 parts so far (there is going to be at least 6 total), each part taking anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. I also feel that I'm forgetting some, which I don't watch regularly, but periodically am reminded about their existence and then after a long break spend several days watching, to then forget about them again. But the channels I listed aren't fringe. Quite the contrary, they're quite popular. I think it's also interesting that one of, if not the most popular Vsauce video is the one about the Banach-Tarski paradox[6], which is almost 30 minutes long. His other videos also show this trend, where the long-form ones seem to get more views in general. And those are just essays/reviews/etc. There is a whole genre of podcasts on youtube dedicated to 3-4h in-depth interviews. Everybody knows a whole bunch of them, therefore I don't even need to list any examples here to support that. So it seems that YouTube is a pretty good place for long-form in-depth exploration of whatever topic (as long as you don't say "fuck", "murder" or show a human body).
