I'm not that guy, but I don't usually watch long videos because it's often 20+ minutes of some guy rambling to say things that would have taken me a minute to read in a more focused piece of writing. Usually posted with the title "thoughts on this entire podcast?" and no time stamp.
I'm not watching this video because it's got every sign of being vapid engagement bait.
I'm the opposite of u/LibertyPrimeWasRight but for the same reason. I really enjoy long form videos, but only from a handful of creators I already like and value their opinions on. I absolutely detest any kind of Short or TikTok video. Even when watching channels I like I fast forward through any clips they show. That whole 40 seconds of a street interview showing women being vapid idiots, videos just showing Tweets, low effort engagement farming shit that's just meant to rile up your emotions is insufferable to me. And since most video posts don't contain a description, you don't know what it really is to you're watching it. And like 8 times out of 10 it's just a minute of a TikTok replaying something stupid from Joe Rogan, Whatever, or some no name trying to inflate his channel, I just skip then entirely. I'll find out later from the quality of the discussion whether the video itself was worthwhile. Since this one for instance seems to just be something inane about a meme video as a springboard to ask about Sydney Sweeney, skipping it seems to have been the right choice. It usually is.
I just don't really watch posted videos.
On principle? 🤔

On the former: yeah, I’m the same.
Even Sydney Watson, who I used to watch fairly frequently - I have recently realized is largely a waste of time to bother watching…
On the latter (i.e. this video specifically): eh, it’s mostly just kinda lame, imho…
If you’ve seen “hawk tuah”, or even just heard about it, then you get the general idea…
OG hawk tuah girl >> Sweeney, though, imo. At least in looks…
