'video essay' is such a cringe attempt at re-branding. You're too lazy to fucking read and won't consume any content unless it's effortless and entertaining.

Incorrect.

Correct. I'm trying to enjoy my leisure time, not write a thesis paper.

I call a class of video video essays, and I think the term has value. Those videos have the form of an essay, they follow an essay structure. Lindsay Ellis makes video essays

That's different to a video lecture, which is a much more common type. A video lecture tries to teach you something. Lindybeige, and Astrographics and many others do lectures
