I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

I don't mind shorts so much but Enhancer for Youtube has the ability to convert shorts to regular videos or hide them.

But the Videos are still only 1 Minute long. I find them a disgrace for my attention span. Before shorts/tiktok people were already arguing how deep a video of 10 Minute really can be and might be giving only a shallow idea of a topic. Going even further down to 1 Minute per topic is too much (less) for me. I prefer videos 20 Minutes+. Mostly 45-60 Minutes hit a decent spot for me to feel like I learned something about a topic. A couple of days ago I watched a 2-parts video of 6h and 5h (over several days) about the Russo-Japanese war. And even that was skimming over a lot of topics (obviously) but afterwards I felt like I understood something. I dont know how a 1 Minute short can transport anything other than just "a feeling of knowledge" - at this point it is basically just entertainment. I already felt 10 Minutes was snack-infotainment short. 1 Minute clips leave me behind like eating candy for dinner: Very unsatisfied. And maybe that is the reason people then click the next tiktok/short, because they actually do not feel satisfied by such a short clip and have the feeling for wanting more. And they satisfy this "more" by switching to another 1-Minute video. Again getting the feeling of more, yet getting less in the end of the day.

Any chance you can drop a link to 11 hours on the Russo-Japanese war? Didn't even know that was a thing

[-] SamsonSeinfelder@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sure. Here you go: Part 1, Part2, (there even is a third part) - I strongly advice to watch it on 1.5x, as the speaker is very slow

I liked the very detailed day-by-day turns in the first part as well as the epic sea-fights in the second part. Also the small biography-slides with detailed vitaes of military personal gave a good idea in what time people lived and where they were going. Combined with an endless stream of original photos and drawings of the fights, it was a very dense documentation and gave a good image about war, russia, japan and the though-process of early 20th century military tactics.

Not even that comical story about the misadventures of the Russian Navy? Oh man, you're really missing out!

Here are a couple of videos about it:

If you've got 50 minutes to spare, it's worth watching both.

Hey bot, you missed the fact that there were two videos linked in that comment.

Ideally, the bot author would create a hook to turn bot feedback given as replies into Github issues semi-automatically.

[-] gears@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Can you share the videos about the war? They sound interesting.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

True but also to be fair I have attention issues and can't really sit too long for a whole video but they're good for a lot of little critical role clips!

Then again I'm on like Tiktok all the time so I'm used to it :3

I think (if it is not a disorder) attention span can be trained. It takes discipline and a true interest into a topic other than just a vague excitement. If you are able to state what topics you are interested in for yourself, you might be able to concentrate on 10-30 Minutes of the same topic. People who are really into The Kardashians are able to watch a whole 50 Minute episode of them. So it is not the problem of concentration for them, it is more that they need something put in front of them for that they can feel a passion or enthusiasm they deeply care about - even it is just The Kardashians. Here is the thing: People have no problem browsing 2h+ of tiktok, but can not concentrate on 10x 20min video? I think if you have a real interest in something you can get through longer videos. Do you look for thing you really care about or do you actively looking for a distraction when you browse tiktok? It is not a bad thing to use it that way. After a long day of work, it can relax your brain browsing real shallow, short clips. But daily, in high doses... then I think it is maybe another reason people do it (escapism, etc.)
