Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Man it's a 4 hour video. Of a review of a hotel. At no point in modern history was that the kind of thing that many people had the attention span to watch
I mean, it does have 10 Million views.
how long into the video is considered a view?
Yes
I don't give a shit whether people 3 decades ago would have watched this, since they had no way to do so. It does worry me that if you post a video longer than 30 seconds or write a response in paragraphs, the immediate response is "tldr?".
Nobody mention Quinton Reviews 👀
It was a complete resort experience, not just "a hotel."
Still not the kind of thing the average person was ever going to watch a four hour video on, regardless of attention span.
this review video was written up in rolling stone, forbes, and the new york times, it's been viewed 10 million times on youtube, your idea of the average person is painfully incorrect
Youtube averages 122 million users a day. 10 million views makes it far from something the average YouTube user has seen, let alone the average person.
Seriously people. Go outside. Call ya motha. Drink water. Do anything but watch a 4h hotel review.
Imagine doing whatever I want with my free time.
It’s an entertaining video. I watched it to have something in the background while doing chores.
4 hour hotel review.
An infinite world of music and audiobooks, and 4h hotel review.
Yeah, audiobooks are way longer than 4 hours normally
This "4h hotel review" is a full on story, like an audiobook but shorter
