God's honest truth. 5 minutes of reading content gets stretched into 30 minutes of &$#@ video.

I think this video is a extreme example of the problem.

Its a one hour video bookended with statements that the author doesn't have time to make a better video.

0:00:15: Now I've written a lengthy script but I have no time to actually read it out correctly from memory so I think I'm just going to use it as notes and talk from the top of my head instead.
...
1:07:15: I'm kind of sad that I can't do this review like better technically cuz i can't afford to spend you know a month editing this video.

There's an old joke about how long it takes to prepare a talk in academia. Want an hour? I can do it right now. 30 minute presentation? I'll need a few weeks. 10 minute presentation? Better give me one or two month lead time.

Thank goodness

I tried watching and even skipped around. " I keep mine in a bag, let me show you" then he gets up for a min, then he struggles with the bag. I searched for... you know... INFO ABOUT THE FUCKING HEADPHONES for maybe 5 min after watching for 3-5 min.

Soon it was "welp, guess I'm not checking those out"
