    I hope someone watches it and post a tl;dr here.

    I’m interested too, but I don’t understand why everything has to be a video (instead of something like a blog post) and don’t have an hour for that.

      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”
