You say this like their viewers don't want long videos. They do. I am one of them. So if they started doing what you suggest, I'd stop watching them.

There is no sweet spot. Different people have different preferences. Not every Youtuber needs to make 10 minute videos. Not every Youtuber needs to make hour long videos. It depends on their audience.

If you don't like hour long videos, that's fine. You're not the intended audience. Stop trying to make every content creator abide by your preferences and just look for those who already cater to your preferences.



The problem is few creators do cater to this.

Maybe we'll get AI summarizers for video soon.


I still see plenty of videos that are around 15-20 minutes long.


Great content tends not to be that length because great creators are incentivized to make longer content.

Perverse incentives.
