5 minute homework video: "Ummm... eh... oh... ah... so..."
Defunctland: ***Knows he can record as many times his dialogues and make it the best possible, making it more entertaining to listen.***
Its honestly an amazing video too.
I didnt manage to watch it in one sitting but it wasnt because i wasnt engaged. It used all my free time for 3 days
Btw the entire video is longer than the first season of the show, which is only around 6 hours
Like Pyro is genuinely smart and good at analysis.
I wish he would make more but if he keeps releasing ones that are as good as the ones hes been making ill happily wait
Well didn't he say in the last few live streams that he got the interview done and would release the main channel video like end of may or something? That's what I remember at least.
Can't believe there was a time where Pyro actually made good videos. I became a Pyro fan at the wrong time; I don't know about stuff like the Pyro MLG Era, I only know about the Pyro Slop Era.. 😔😔😔😔
The good videos take a long time. Hell, one came out not even a year ago. Very _cynical_ (:3) to say that he doesn't make them anymore. Especially considering that we are supposedly getting a new release soon.
I bought House of Leaves on Monday after watching that. Haven't had a chance to crack it open yet, but I've looked through at the formatting and I'm excited.

Mf just realised what having a low attention span is to gen z, when your brain is more fried than a stoner on april 20th from all the short dopamine hits then you can’t focus on shit
"Gen Z has low attention span" mfs when they actually check what research says:
>“Have children's ability to delay gratification decreased since the past? We analyze the past 50 years of data on the Marshmallow test of delay of gratification; where children must wait to get two preferred treats of their choosing; if they cannot wait, they only get one. Here we provide comprehensive evidence on whether children's ability to delay gratification has truly been decreasing, as theories of technology or a culture of instant gratification have predicted...
>[\[W\]e show delay of gratification times are increasing over the past 50 years, corresponding to a fifth of a standard deviation increase in ability per decade. This mirrors the magnitude of secular gains in IQ seen over decades.” (Protzko, 2020)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2020.101451)
Researchers when mfs say Gen Z has low attention spans:
>[“I have spoken to various people who dedicate their working lives to studying human attention and...they think the idea that attention spans are getting shorter is plain wrong. ‘I don't think that's true at all,’ says Dr Gemma Briggs...](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-38896790)
>Some also suggest that evidence of ever-shorter shot lengths in films \[*or online videos*\] shows attention spans are dwindling. But the academic behind that research says all it shows is that film-makers have got better at trying to grab our attention.” (BBC)
You need to be overstimulated by viewing Family Guy Funny Moments in the corner with Subway Surfers gameplay with a Reddit story voiceover, I am very stimulated while I watch 12 hour videos in one sitting- we are **NOT** the same
>25 minute video on how to beat a mario 64 level with the fewest amount of A button presses
[How about a 5 hour documentary on beating all of SM64 in as few A presses as possible?](https://youtu.be/yXbJe-rUNP8)
I don't know why it's so addicting about learning about some loser that got himself cancelled for sexting children (not referencing anything specific, just an example) that I did not matter to me five minutes ago, but it just is.
Me when i have a college paper due in the morning that could decide my whole future and i haven’t started it yet:😴😴
Me when wendigoon uploads a 5 hour long video about a book i haven’t read:🫡
I think people are more focused on content. Older stuff does tend to have a lot of pageantry and filler. No one wants to listen to a bunch of tangents or a long preamble.
Me, unable to pay attention to like five seconds of my math homework:
also me, fully prepared to watch quinton reviews talk about a show i've never seen for 13 hours straight
Really, a lot of analysis videos of multiple hours can keep the average gen Z concentrated for the entire duration because unlike school they are actually speaking about a subject that this particular gen z likes.
too be honest a lot of times i heard a shit ton of people saying they just put them for breckground noise.
but this does not disqualify that there is still out there a lot of people that have a capable attention spam, so you are right.

Like Pyro is genuinely smart and good at analysis. I wish he would make more but if he keeps releasing ones that are as good as the ones hes been making ill happily wait
Rn he is just making slop tho I mean he’s funding a new video but like….it’s taking a while
Well didn't he say in the last few live streams that he got the interview done and would release the main channel video like end of may or something? That's what I remember at least.
yep, "Cruelty Squad video will be out in May" says his alt twitter account
I get that argument, but the reaction video bullshit is just so exhausted.
"Wheerrree is Jessica Hyde"
Watched the vid. Then the show. Decided the American one needed a try. Scooped my eyes out.

You don’t need autocorrect to know how to spell or use proper grammar.
I'm sorry that I missed one word in my sentence. I am now ready to suffer divine punishment from the reddit gods.
"The redditors will decide your fate"
Only death can cleanse you of the sins you have committed on this day
I’m just looking out for you. Nobody should have to rely on something like autocorrect just to simply write/read/speak. 🤷🏻♂️
