A humble proposal to YouTube: Incentivize creators to get to the fucking point.

@CanisPundit

Perhaps one more proposal:

We understand that you use advertising to make your profit, but could you stop interrupting the middle of a song to show me a sales pitch for something of which I have no interest?

@grayman and how they target ads is often bizarre bearing no relationship to my viewing habits; including languages I don’t speak.

@CanisPundit
Yes!
I gave up on someone yesterday. She repeated herself in a slow voice, over & over.
Lol
Bye

@CanisPundit

So many "political (USA) 'Breaking News' videos" are 10-13-17 minutes long... and they all share the same 45 second clip of the *actual* item.

Addendum to your point.
All "YouTube Shorts" should list:
A. Duration;
B. Video Date (published);
C. Content date.

And I've nearly given up on SNL news videos!
Claim to be posted (eg) "3 hours ago";
Title says "SNL News of [recent date]"

Second story is about (eg) "Paul Pelosi" ...
(So it can not be "last weekend")

@CanisPundit OMG, yes please. I can't take the ten and fifteen minute lead ins talking about everything but what I actually clicked to hear.

@CelluloidBlonde and it is not just about communication skills, apparently YouTube incentivizes longer videos for advertising purposes.

@CanisPundit I click out. I'm not sitting through ten minutes of filler.

@CelluloidBlonde agreed! Especially when the information can be had in readable format elsewhere or by asking an AI service. All due respect to @Alfred I like Perplexity.ai.

@CanisPundit clips have become so pervasive, though, sometimes doing a google search, I can't find a text explanation because the clip links are so thick.
