A lot of content creators on YouTube are more rewarded if they can streeeeeeetch things out to ten minutes or more. It creates for so much fluff and talking around the point. (Don't forget to like and subscribe!)

I have a lot of different creators on a lot of different subjects in my subscriptions, but as soon as they start falling into the talk around trap, I unsubscribe. It's a shame. If it takes you six minutes to say your piece, take six minutes, man. I have things to do, too.

You clicked on this one. Where's the "link to a tweet"? nt Atticus Sep 2020 #14
