I actually am curious. Is there a type of video that you see that you think "an hour, that sounds good"? I see an hour and think "this better be a quality documentary" or whatever.
Well I guess a reasonable adult would probably start first by reading the title and description and looking at the thumbnail and seeing if that topic is at all interesting to them to watch. If not, they can move on. If yes then they can click on it, watch a little bit and decide whether they are still interested and whether they are willing to allocate time to this over something else and then consider that they can watch this at their own pace because it's an online video. They can then decide to watch it all in one go or pause it and come back to it another time if they're still interested.
I personally watched it all in one go as I was eating dinner and doing some side stuff because this was an interesting conversation and a look into a sort of lifestyle that is alien to me and it was presented in a digestible and very personal fashion and I was enjoying it the entire time I was watching it.
Does that answer your question?
No, you definitely didn't answer the question but you managed to imply I'm a child.
FYI an actual complaint would have been "you linked to the embedded version of this video which hides the length of the video so I had to open it twice and then discover it's insanely long and I don't have time to be watching hour long videos"
But that's not what I said. This place is looking more like reddit every day. 90% of my interactions here have been positive before the last couple of days. I wish that didn't feel like it was changing.
You sound like really fun company.
Reddit still exists. People who hate questions or assume the worst seem to like it better, so....
People don’t hate questions, but you weren’t really asking one. You were making a statement and being a dick about it.
Go back to Reddit, you’ll fit in better.
Appreciate the block request
9 day old account and you talk like you’ve been here for years
Yet another toxic bullshit trait of Reddit bleeding over. It's possible for an account age on an anonymous platform to have little relationship with actual usage patterns. Not sure why people don't get that.
Ok buddy.
