But, clicking around randomly, it seems that this video has been dragged out in length for no reason other than to be longer, presumably for YouTube financial (perverse) incentives.


For sure, I’m not advocating intentionally lengthening videos for financial incentives, either.

I guess I didn’t immediately get that impression when I watched it, but I wasn’t watching it with that in mind.

My point is I don’t mind filler in videos, if it’s true to what’s naturally happening.

But intentionally adding filler is, indeed, poor form.
