I just want to watch something less than ten minutes long with a decent camera, mic, and who knows what they're talking about.

Common wisdom is that videos greater than ten minutes long meet the threshold for user engagement to be favored by Youtube's algorithm, which increases monetization, which is why so many videos are padded out to at least that length.
This is why I don't participate in the rat race. That, and I've got a face made for radio and a voice that's made for print. So I write instead.
