For anyone who doesn't want to watch an 8 minute video, the glass / bullet race is at 2:40.
Maybe it's low fluff relative to other YouTube videos, for me it could have been a 5 second GIF without any real loss.

- into_infinity 4y agoThis is less about "customer demand" and more about having to meet minimum video length for mid-clip monetization slots. Strictly an artifact of how YouTube works.
- photoGrant 4y agoI didn't know, I pay the Premium to hide that stuff. Regardless, given the effort and lengths they went to, I'm happy to see them do so in a manner that funds their ability to do more.
- WhackyIdeas 4y agoYouTube know what they are doing… irritate the hell out of you until you buy Premium. I once had YouTube on in the background and an advert which was an hour long popped up - but I was focused on something else and away from the screen and the tv remote. The advert? A video of someone pointing a camera outside of a window during the night and onto a dark street (no sounds other than rustling from the person holding the camera). An hour long of it. Skip. It was soon after this I paid up.

- wruza 4y agoI’ve seen some doing 10 second previews of action parts and then proceed to setup and education. Too bad platforms encourage them to make you watch a couple of minutes of things that you may not be interested in at the time.
- yunohn 4y agoIt’s interesting that people complain about vapid reels/TikTok, while also hating on medium-length educational content.
