I came here for the tl;dw comments. :(

- AceJohnny2 1y agoThe video covers a wide range of topics related to birds and audio. The title topic is actually only a small segment of the whole video, arguably not the most interesting one! Among other things, he also covers (lightly) bird vocal anatomy, audio "cameras", birding apps & equipment.
- haunter 1y agoI hate modern Youtube that now every single "serious" topic video is +30 mins length. 10 years ago we were perfectly fine with 10 mins stuff but of course algorithms and advertising and nowadays most Youtuber is pushing longer and longer videos as if we are watching peak evening television reporting...
- frollogaston 1y agoI've heard this a lot, but is there confirmation of this somewhere? I'd actually expect a longer video to generate less engagement, cause fewer people want to watch all that.
- retox 1y agoThe longer compilation videos are because of sleeping viewers. You can cram them with as many ads as you like.
- frollogaston 1y agoAt the end of the day though, the most money is made by getting people to actually pay attention to the ads. Shorter videos might really accomplish that best. I imagine YouTube is aware of sleeping users, and if advertisers aren't realizing the engagement they expect for what they pay, they'll go elsewhere.
