I think a fair amount of people have seen this recommended or linked to them by others, but it hasn't been linked here! I watched all of it over a few days and it was pretty good. It's nice to see him doing voiced videos again because from what I understand he was overwhelmed by the success/viralness of the A Press video and kind of went away for a while. The fact that he did video with his voice while knowing it will receive a lot of attention means he conquered that anxiety. His idea of monetization with the part at 3:37:40 (https://youtu.be/YsXCVsDFiXA?t=13063) is also quite interesting.
TJ "Henry" Yoshi is even in there in the comments with a donation ($50, pretty good) that made me smile.

video essays have gone too far

Podcasts can be organized and informative. I doubt you can blame them.

Sometimes, people are not so much talking to exchange information as to feel connected, and somehow, in a tragic way, this phenomenon got imported to the internet. People try to touch base with others in the digital world. But no matter how much people socialize on facebook, their need for human contact will never be satisfied - which is why early (non-political) facebook was already so addictive.
Many youtubers are the same thing, fundamentally, a seeming quenching of the said basic need, but ultimately not satisfactory.
And this goes for both sides of the youtuber scene. Both the creators as well as the audience are convinced that they have something that they are still desperately in want of.

So when you ask "why did you make a seven hours video to meander around a message that could have been conveyed in thirty minutes?"
The correct answer is: "I was lonely".
Same reason as why anyone would watch it.

 No.3058

>>3055
This is true but we also have to consider how youtube monetization has changed over the years. Creators put a lot of ads in between those videos and receive revenue according to the time viewers spend watching their channel. It's not just about views anymore.
That's why you get a lot of video essays with unnecessary fluff on purpose like anon said. If you see a video on your recommended that barely gets past the 8,10 15, minute mark (i don't remember exactly how it works but they let you add more mid roll ads past a certain length) they are highly likely going to be trashy or slop. It's more like a side job for a lot of people at this point instead of a place to broadcast yourself for fun but we all know that.

I assume they are teens if they have time to watch all of it, more specifically, teenage girls who grew up with those shows. Maybe it depends on the series but that image is targeting gen Z and gen A(reruns). I consider them the equivalent of long vidya video essays but for women.

i think it stems from how as shorter internet content managed to take away time from channel surfing youtube videos were able to give themselves the space to gradually become something much bigger like jokingly shown here (don't focus on it it's just the best example i have)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd-J-Dv813U
it evolved from the classic review that was like somewhere between five and fifteen minutes long by starting to try to make a more detailed, thorough point then through ADAPTIVE RADIATION and FISHERIAN RUNAWAYS grew bigger and costlier treating length itself as a sign of quality, breadth n depth so nowadays it's like the only (good) reviews you'll consistently find under ten minutes are yahtzee's because everything needs to include the history of whatever the author feels is somehow relevant AND HERE'S A 15s PARODY OF IT BY A MASTER OF THE MEDIUM from two dang years ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0WWbpBxLCI

but still, it doesn't seem like that's exactly what's going on with quinton, and there's no way a video made in four months that is seven hours long could achieve the above compared to an hour and a half video made over the course of six months, it simply cannot have the same level of writing and whatnot in any aspect
for further examples, after finishing his game tierlist at about the six hour mark (took him like 25m) he starts making a box tierlist of identical duration which ends on a joke rant about how da globalists (jews) are hiding the cubic earth, he subsequently makes fun of the segment while apologizing for putting you through it though still not deleting it as it's overlaid in this frame-within-a-frame-within-a-frame pinboard that plays all the previous nested talks he's made standing beside it and it is UNBELIEVABLY BORING
what you can also do is look at his comments and see that there isn't much going on there despite how many things they would in theory be able to respond to but there's one that caught my eye:

God damn I hate the modern internet

I just wanted to re-learn how to edit a clip in davinci, but it's impossible to actually find the information. Google is just a bunch of AI garbage and youtube nonsense that is 30 minutes long to explain something that would take one entire sentence.
I don't know how anyone learns a new skill in this hellscape of noise.

Then I remembered a tip where you add "+reddit" to search reddit for humans sharing information for the benefit of other humans and I found it within seconds. This is going to be patched out, isn't it? Everything else is already drowned out.

Every now and then people like to talk about future human evolution, that humans hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now humanity may be a completely new species that does not resemble a modern human any longer. Do you think so?

Personally, I'm inclined to believe that evolution is like language. When there is a strong social fabric connecting one person and community to the next, languages evolve very slowly. When that cohesion breaks down, languages tend to diverge and evolve. I think evolution is probably something like that, and within our broader interconnected world, humanity will probably evolve more slowly together and so maybe that human born hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now will resemble us much more than others like to suggest.

How come we haven't evolved out of needing sleep?

 No.3025

>>3024
i'm not sure the reasons behind the evolution of sleep are entirely clear but it's widely agreed it's pretty important stuff

 No.3026

>>3024
From what I understand, sleep serves a few functions, that we know of. First is detoxification. While you're awake, toxins build up in the brain, and restful sleep allows the body to detoxify the brain. The second is memory consolation. It seems that during sleep our brains essentially go through a categorization process where things that happened during the day that were in your "medium-length" memory get turned into long-term memories. Third is healing. Wheen you sleep your body releases hormones that allows for you to heal.

I'm pretty sure those are the main reasons. I'm just a layman though.

 No.3027

>>3025
>>3026
There is also a more indirect reason for sleep: Nights.
It's just energy-efficient to go into a energy-saving mode in a time when it's cold and dark and it's difficult to spot the resources you want, or avoid the predators to whom you are the resource.

 No.3033

>>3024
Because there has never been a random mutation in our evolutionary line that allowed someone to survive without sleep, or if there were that person was unable to pass those mutations on long-term.

I don't think it would work. If you were in space between the Moon and the Earth, the Moon would take up more of your field of vision so you wouldn't see the Sun's corona like you can from Earth. You'd still be able to see the partial eclipse happening though. The type of orbit matters, however. You would have to be in a geostationary orbit, orbiting the Earth at the same rate that it spins, for the eclipse to happen at the same time as it does on Earth. Otherwise you could probably observe the Moon eclipsing the Sun pretty often. The Internation Space Station, which is in low Earth orbit, for instance, makes 16 orbits around the Earth every 24 hours.

 No.2941

>>2940
If you are going to space for an eclipse, there is no reason why you should have to stay between the Earth and the moon. All that is required is that you find a circular body that you can use to just obscure the sun with, (meaning you need to be the right distance from that body).
That could be the moon, it could also be Earth itself.

This is what a hori hori knife looks like. It's pretty cheap, $20, and supposed to do the job of multiple tools.
- The pointy part and flat edge can uproot weeds
- shovel-like shape to do some minimal digging
- Measurements so you can use it to gauge seed/plant depth
- Serrated edge for cutting stuff.

Although, I think that edge looks kind of flimsy for me to use it for cutting. Maybe it's good against smaller plants, but definitely not branches.

After I had to live in a really tiny place for a while that didn't have enough space for a kitchen, I really appreciate finally having a real oven again. I guess that's not the sort of tool you're thinking of though. Uh.

Possibly true, but it's very basic stuff.
Hori hori knives seem more like a 'maintenance' tool whereas specialty stuff is used when you need to do a bunch of it in a row. Something like a tool for playing seeds seems quite extravagant unless it's your job. People really seem to swear by these things so I guess I'll see if I feel the same way.
