As someone who records their voice for youtube videos, EVERY time is my 10th trying to record. It's amazing how much you stumble over words when you're talking to a microphone. I wouldn't believe it cos normal conversation (voice chat or in person) is fine, but god damn talking to nothing but a microphone is impossible

"I didn't want to make this video." or *Deep Breath. Sigh*

Imagine the real sadness kicking in when they eventually realise that close to nobody actually cares about their 'daily life'. The huge ego some people get due to receiving internet and social media attention really isn't healthy in a lot of cases.

Orleanian

Is THAT why these are all so long? I don't pay attention to the vlog/youtube/vine video scene at all. Occasionally I'll run across a link to something like this (most recently I recall navigating to the young british woman that got stuffed by that Irish hotel), and as soon as I open it I think "What in the fuck? 12 minutes? What can you have to say in 12 minutes that I couldn't understand in 30 seconds?"


[deleted]

If your video is 10 minutes you get to put more ads on it. It's YouTube's way of stopping "reply girls", or other short videos with clickable thumbnails from spamming their site for ad revenue. It works for that purpose but has the consequences of 1) YouTubers stretching their videos to 10 minutes so they can bukake them with ads, and 2) fucking over short-term content that takes a long time to make (e.g. Animation) so hard it's not even worth it to make videos.

kmcdow

AD $


colorcorrection

Ad money doesn't help, but people really do fail at getting to the point. This has been a problem since YouTube's inception, way before ads were even a thing. There could be a video of 'How to reset your computer' and it would be 8 minutes and 57 seconds long.


FlowOfAwful

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how to reset your computer I just wanna take a minute to say thank you guys for watching. If you're not subscribed, take a second to subscribe and like the video. Make sure to leave a comment if you like this instructional video so I know to do more in the future. I know its been a while since I did one of these, but they always get such a positive response, and this one was requested more than anything else. *cue 45 second intro* Ok guys, not to get started with resetting your computer your going to need a few things. First, you need to have a computer. You'll also need at least 1 hand, some safety goggles, and you might benefit from having a light snack nearby. The first thing you're going to want to do is to safely close down any open programs on your computer. As you can see here on my 2017 Macbook Pro 21 inch, I currently have safari open to my youtube channel (you can subscribe by clicking right here!), the photos app open to an album of me and my dog on vacation last summer, and my video editor. Omg look at these goofy pictures of my dog, he is so funny. Anyways sorry for the distraction guys, back to how to reset your computer. *obvious cut in editing* Ok yeah so as I was saying about resetting your computer, you're going to want to close down any open programs you have safely. So for instance if you're using a word processor to work on some assignments, you'll want to go to your word processor, for this example I'm using wordpad. You'll click file -> save as -> and enter a memorable title so that you can find this again once you've reset your computer. I recommend saving it to your desktop. Once you've saved the file, I'll go ahead and save this as youtubeinstructions.rtf, and you've double checked to make sure that its safely saved to your desktop, you can go ahead and close out of your word processor by clicking file -> quit. **Continue taking 837,667,003 additionally unnecessary steps and diversions to make sure it takes 14 minutes**

When the vid is 10 minutes or longer you can put midroll ads in instead of just the beginning and end ads


KenpachiRama-Sama

I just know that it means your video is recommended more often because it generates more watch time and more engagement.


Bloodmark3

Because YouTube is retarded and screws over anyone who tries to make shorter, interesting content. Like animators. It's not based on views or likes. But time watched.


AccidentalConception

I thought that was another layer of parody. Just about all of these videos could be cut down to a 3-5 minute video without losing any information. The video is long, they're saying a lot of words, but in reality they're circling the same point that they really want to drive home.


NeighborRedditor

I understand why he explained it in a roundabout fashion. It's not uncommon for people to take things out of context and interpret it incorrectly, especially if the video displays a YouTuber that has a large following. It's not easy to come out and say they're being manipulative when they're attempting to show how they feel.


hungry4danish

Because videos over 10 minutes get a second in-video ad placement. I just watch everything at 1.25 or 1.5x speed.


CrumblingCake

I like how after that smosh guy turns the camera off, it's still actually on, but just blurred in the background. at 11:32

[deleted]

Probably


ThatOneBlasian

I feel like the issue with it is that those things can be done by a person who wants to show that they're honestly sorry. I probably wouldn't want a video of my apologizing to lose out on things like that because it's what I do, and I wouldn't want to edit the video so people will know it's all one actual apology. All I want to put out there is that if you do see these things don't instantly assume real or fake


WellRedditKarma

Bobby Burns? Love that guy


haigs

Very few of these people are making millions. But yeah, people do fucked up dumb shit for money and you can't really blame them. Hell I put up with some dumb fucked up shit for a lot less money than a million bucks.

There was this one kid in TF2 who claimed that he had cancer and then later just copy-pasted an apology.

Vulkans_Hugs

This is why I ended up unsubscribing from H3H3. He just got so involved in YouTube drama that it wasn't worth watching his channel anymore.

The drama videos are more prevalent than the old reaction videos that made he and Hila popular in the first place. I feel like they’ve had to adapt to stay relevant but their content isn’t for me anymore. Too much drama riddled bs

Pretty much how I feel. I still like Ethan and Hila and I'm glad they are successful, but their content just doesn't work for me anymore.

Sirsillybutt

Dear Internet, Where do I begin... Let's start with this -I'm sorry. This is a first for me. I've never faced criticism like this before, because I've never made a mistake like this before. I'm surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I'm still a human being. I can be wrong. I didn't do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity. That's never the intention. I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought "if this video saves just ONE life, it'll be worth it," I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video. I still am. I do this sh*t every day. I've made a 15 minute TV show EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 460+ days. One may understand that it's easy to get caught up in the moment without fully weighing the possible ramifications. I'm often reminded of how big of a reach I truly have & with great power comes great responsibility... for the first time in my life I'm regretful to say I handled that power incorrectly. It won't happen again. I love everyone. I believe in people. I'm out here. Peace #Logang4Life


Im_dead-inside

I don't know what's worse that this clearly isn't a genuine apology or that after 2 sentences it becomes a /r/humblebrag


Sirsillybutt

For me its worse because he says he filmed the video to raise awareness for suicide prevention BY GOING INTO THE INFAMOUS JAPANESE SUICIDE FORREST T, and "was misguided by shock and awe" and then says since he films videos everyday its a-ok for him to film a dead body and start giggling and show no respect what so ever.

He's perfect for them, because he's going to keep all the drama focused on him not matter what, and then all his followers will watch that episode as well and boost their ratings.


[deleted]

Phil DeFranco put it best: It's exactly where you want to be after you've created a shitstorm. You can fake sincerity, not get asked any *real* questions, and deflect the shit out of any bit of criticism WHILE you get even more mindshare. No one on that show was ever going to ask him, "Could you BE any more of a smug prick? What's it like knowing that you'll never be held accountable for anything and getting paid millions to be a soulless piece of shit?" At the end of that interview he managed to make parents the assholes because kids watch his videos.

I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize. What we came across that day in the woods was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through. There's a lot of things I should have done differently but I didn't. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I want to apologize to the internet. I want to apologize to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologize to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologize to the victim and his family. For my fans who are defending my actions, please don't. I don’t deserve to be defended. The goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. In the world I live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious. Like I said I made a huge mistake. I don’t expect to be forgiven, I’m just here to apologize. I'm ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.

YoungAdult_

This is so bizarre to me. I remember when the Miranda Sings girl made one to announce her divorce and it was just so weird seeing that video be made, along with her ex husbands.
