Me and @AnOminous were talking about this in a thread as to why idiots on YouTube keep making extremely long livesteams and videos that they know that no one will watch because they are so damn boring. This has been an issue that has extended even to lolcows like Darksydephil, where you have really autistic groups around him and other clowns try to turn something as simple as making fun of Phil into shit like this that last for several hours at a time:
It's not just these ragtag group of YouTube losers who do this. I've seen this phenomenon occur with much bigger YouTube channels. You know the names. Usually the only part worth sticking around for is for the chat that is included in the livestream. The livestream itself is usually shit that I feel compelled to mute.
This is my reply to AnOminous to provide more context as to what I'm talking about. First part is from AnOminous himself.
AnOminous: Why do all these morons make giant half hour videos that nobody will ever watch? Do people actually watch those?
Me: Livestreams are the worst though and its not just this little corner of YouTube that does it either and I brought this up in a chat that went with one of them. Just about a bunch of the bigger Youtube losers do it too.
I had to mute it because it was more than 10 people talking over each other. I just kept saying that trying to talk about so and so about Roosh V or whatever for 3-4 hours is shit one could do in just 10 minutes and hold more people's attention that way and get more subs. In that time, I could have just watched a movie instead.
I was only in that one to get screencaps of the chat itself. When I absolutely have to link to those, timestamp and summary are what I try to provide and sometimes I don't even directly put the video right in the thread, I leave it as just a hyperlink. I much prefer screenshots myself to long videos.
