Finding it annoying is fine but policing the body language of others to this level is not the innocuous activity you seem to think it is so it’s funny that something so minor can cause folks to do that. This is not the same as mispronouncing foreign words on purpose to drive engagement. She may drink from it on occasion but if she were to do so on screen and not edit it out then other folks would be policing that for its noise or being an affectation.

sad question posted:

Why would video about the best of these be the shortest?

Did Oblivion or Skyrim have a writer take acid for a week to write lore for them?

Part of it was an escalating joke because people got mad at how long the Morrowind video was. He deliberately made the Skyrim video 11 hours 11 minutes and 11 seconds and released it on 11/11/22, like how Skyrim was (originally) released on 11/11/11.

Who was that woman twitter weirdos tried to drag over a 12 hour Joker review by a bunch of a furries, and when she tweeted "yeah, I'm not gonna watch that" she got a ton of poo poo from people accusing her of making it about herself for no reason until she pointed out they literally put her name in the title of the video.

That was Jenny Nicholson btw. And I'm not clear how bringing her up would incite holy wars like TheSwizzler mentioned. She just talks in a low-key and humorous way about things. Either you click on her video and decide if she's drawing you in with whatever niche thing she's obsessing over this time, or you don't vibe with it and wait 6 months for another video.

but mostly it was that the essays weren't 12 hours of poo poo like the impact of the oblivion thieve's guild questline on the war on terror or the socioeconomic parallels of Volkihar/Dawnguard feud, but recaps of the major questlines, standout sidequests, daedric shrines, etc. of each game along with the authors thoughts on the game various mechanics as they became relevant. And a lot of behind the scenes development stuff, which is fun too. They actually became easier to watch as they got longer imo, unraveling a lot of the silly bullshit and bad decisions made as the games go on is fun to listen to

It's good background noise when you're pushing pixels around for 10 hours straight lol

There's a meta element of trying to game the algorithm and get your visibility boosted by doing all that stuff too. At some point you're literally managing your content delivery because of how a computer is going to prioritize and promote what you are doing.

Figuring out that I didn't want to do this was the first step to feeling like a "Real" artist. I prefer to post content on SA/Forums where any growth is organic not an algorithm. I'm trying to convince my friends it's better that way lmao, I need more people like Abbadon (K6BD guy) telling people to make a website and abandon Twitter.

There's youtubers who are good background noise while you're cleaning or walking/jogging outside or grinding out a video game. Then there's youtubers who fart out interminable content I don't recommend. It's still rude to link something longer than 10 minutes when someone's asking a question, unless that question is: "Does anyone have some really detailed video breakdown about X thing?"

You recently got introduced to Queen?

I'm envious that you got to experience it in full, as I heard it when I was very young so by the time I could recognize how good it was, I'd already heard it a lot.
