My 22 year old mate sends me you tubes sometimes. 15 minutes?! As if I’m going to watch all that. Only really use YouTube for music videos/concerts and the log fire.

Most of my YT watching is 10 min+ vids! Love the format, can get some really interesting stuff in that time frame without it feeling like a whole episode of a TV show or like too much of a commitment. Also watch multiple video essays over 40 mins

Also for 7 second joke videos ofc

As anyone in the gaming thread will know, I am currently enjoying a six hour-long review of a Japanese dating simulator from the 1990s

(pitched down voice) and it is great

(Doom sound effect)

Like this one as most of them are three minutes or less;

Like this guys one too as there’s no talking;

Been meaning to watch these for AGES

I semi agree with this but there are some really good channels for stuff I am interested in and I’d often much much rather watch 20 minutes of that, than scroll through the TV guide and watch another 20 year old episode of some shite or whatever. Just a case of finding something/someone who you connect with.

I just don’t have the attention span for a 10+min video! Give me a 600 page book or a 6 hour long period drama and I’m all for it, but can’t be doing with these long winded youtubing things.

I just don’t have the time!

Should clarify I’m watching in parts before you start justifiably vomiting in disgust at the idea of me wantonly hurling six hours at a single video

Yeah you have to find your own stuff I reckon, rarely if ever am I watching a video more than 2 mins long on someone else’s recommendation

Make time! (not war)

Yes!! I particularly love the fist pump kid, he and his family were so so lovely.

Recently with all the US politics shenanigans, Brian Tyler Cohen, Jesse Dollemore, Seth Meyers, The Young Turks, David Pakman…

Hugely into this series about a guy who is attempting to circumnavigate the UK in a tiny speedboat.

The first episode a little slow from what I remember but it’s a wonderfully relaxing channel with beautiful images of the coast, a stunning soundtrack and lots of diversions to interesting places on the way.

Episode 7 came out a couple of weeks back. So far he’s managed 700 odd miles in total and having started in London he’s done the whole south coast and is now making his way up North Devon towards the Bristol channel.

Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing.

Have been well into this, I sort of wish he was attempting this all in one go rather than having to wait months for each episode. Understandable though perhaps why he isn’t.

Going to be interesting to see how he deals with going further north and around Scotland.

That would be the dream but yeah it’s understandable why he has to break it all up. I’m wondering if he’ll take a few weeks off for the north of Scotland leg just to minimise the travel he would have to do between London and there (and fewer support people I imagine?).

I think he must have to, can’t imagine it would be fun dragging that boat up to Scotland and back multiple times. Also wondering if he’s going to include the Shetland Islands as part of the journey of circumnavigating, and if so will that boat even make it out that far.

Yeah good point. I reckon he’ll also have to time that for the summer?

Enjoy this channel a lot-

Just pleasantly boring videos to watch before bed.
