Length and quality do not correlate at all. There are tons of really long video essays which make really strong arguments and are paced well enough that they don’t feel like their runtime, but there’s also tons of video essays which use their incredible length to hide their lack of depth. There’s thoroughness, and then there’s listing off a bunch of points that never build into any sort of argument.

There’s a lot of pro-PT pro-Lucas content (“content”) on Youtube that fits the second category. That’s probably what Mocata is getting at and that’s what I was getting at earlier. Don’t know if this video fits that trend, I plan on watching it in an hour or two when I get the chance to, but it’s an undeniable trend.
