I’m only an hour into this person’s 4 hour(!) review/criticism of the Star Wars hotel and am baffled at how poorly this was handled.

    Man it’s a 4 hour video. Of a review of a hotel. At no point in modern history was that the kind of thing that many people had the attention span to watch

      I don’t give a shit whether people 3 decades ago would have watched this, since they had no way to do so. It does worry me that if you post a video longer than 30 seconds or write a response in paragraphs, the immediate response is “tldr?”.

        Still not the kind of thing the average person was ever going to watch a four hour video on, regardless of attention span.

          this review video was written up in rolling stone, forbes, and the new york times, it’s been viewed 10 million times on youtube, your idea of the average person is painfully incorrect

            Youtube averages 122 million users a day. 10 million views makes it far from something the average YouTube user has seen, let alone the average person.
