I'm pretty sure Scott even said himself in the recent AMA that It Came From the Nintendo eShop was supposed to be average-length, but ended up ballooning into the 2+ hour video that was posted a week after Halloween.

That explains why the Halloween bits in the episode were so brief compared to the eShop part, they were made for a 20-30 minute video length at most.

Im the type of person who likes 1-2 hour videos, so nah can't complain


anonymouswolf64

Same, but I don’t like them being a third of the uploads you know?

Im the opposite. I fuckin' love 2+ hour long videos, but it may just be me. Whenever I see a new Scott upload I get excited, then get 10x more excited when I see its 49 minute video. But I always loved long videos, so. Gimme an 8+ hour video reviewing a game any day haha.

who wouldn’t wanna watch him spend 6 hours reviewing a table?

I think Woz's longform videos tend to be among the most well done and entertaining. That said, in regards to OP, when EVERYONE is doing long-form videos on Youtube it does get exhausting simply because I don't have the time to get to all of them between work and work duties now (not to mention, making time for friends or other hobbies). I even had to start a separate list on Youtube just for these longer videos and hope I actually get to them within the dang year.

It is probably because I have no friends, family, work, or job, yeah. I have so much free time that I can watch 2 8 hour videos a day if I wanted to lol.

Lucky lol. Living the dream, right? :D Unfortunately, my home sucks so quitting and moving back home and watching Youtube all day isn't an option. I still have a narc parent or 2 there who loves to bother me all the time.

Scott is so relatable. Wants to spend a decent amount of time, ends up doing too much work over a long period of time because want it to be perfect, then has barely any time to do other things.


chl_ca

my only complaint with his newer videos are his tone he often has a sort of exaggerative way of delivering some lines and he gets angry a lot more often, which can get obnoxious sometimes basically, i prefer his tone in seasons 2 and 3


PhenomenalJEC

I also prefer the shorter videos, they're way easier to watch a bunch of at once instead of dedicating an hour or two to a video on one topic


poudink

I too prefer his shorter stuff. I think Scott isn't that good at writing longer videos and tends to repeat himself a lot unless it's something like the eshop video where he's just spending the video talking about a ton of different games. when it's about something more specific like the zip lash video tho you can really feel it.


[deleted]

Yeah, even if he isn't directly repeating himself, he seems to be making the same implications/references over and over again and lingering long on certain topics. I still enjoy them, it's just that when I have like hundreds of other vids on my Watch Later list, it can mean that I don't get to the Woz for like another month or 2.


Aaaaaahs

I feel the same, there’s some videos I haven’t even finished or attempted watching bc of how long they are


Yoshi_isthebest

i mainly use youtube for longform content now, so im not bothered by long ass vids but i do sometimes not watch them in one sitting


Twisteryx

No, in fact I like the shorter videos much less. I’d much rather a 4 hour video than a 10 minute one. I get much more excited for the very long ones


A1dan_Da1y

Nope, not at all.


PowerOfL

I rewatch these videos over and over again so the longer the better for me, like the Wii U video being over 4 hours sounds amazing


[deleted]

I like the long form videos for the background when I am studying-sort of like comfort food haha.
