I’m only an hour into this person’s 4 hour(!) review/criticism of the Star Wars hotel and am baffled at how poorly this was handled.

You should watch it. Jenny does a great job breaking down what they did right and wrong. And it turns out it was such a monumental project that you need four hours to talk about it fully.
Our attention spans are dropping precipitously, and it worries me.
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
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.
I mean, it does have 10 Million views.
how long into the video is considered a view?
Yes
Nobody mention Quinton Reviews 👀
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?”.
I don’t know, even the long, drawn out, epic dramas of the seventies didn’t go on for 4 hours.
True, but those are feature films. After an hour or two the audience starts losing the plot, literally. Jenny’s video I would describe more as a documentary (I’d categorize most video essays as such), which typically run for much longer without losing too much.
