my personal rule of thumb is that (typically) if a video essay is longer to watch than the media that it is analyzing, it's not one you're gonna get a lot out of, neither in terms of information nor entertainment. something to have on in the background if that's what you need to sit down and work maybe, but if you're there to get a solid thesis or concise recap of the media in question, 😬.

#I had to look up quinton reviews' icarly essay just to make sure I wasn't dissing him inadvertently with this post #bc those videos honestly slap #he does a good job of keeping those videos from droning on too much #or that lasagna cat video of the guy analyzing the garfield strip for over an hour #tho that one's mostly bc it's a parody that's long on purpose for comedy's sake #also I'm sure at least one of you has an 8+ hour long essay on a 2hr film that Got You Through It.#and that's fine!! every rule's got an exception. I'm just talking abt me and my personal preferences #also if you're an essayist who makes overly long videos i got nothing against you #esp if that's your job. get your bag ig.#but like even when I'm working on something I do like to follow along w/ what I'm watching/listening to #and if you can't get to your point I'm going to stop caring and zone out sorry
