Reading your reply I immediately thought of a video I watched last week that would have been a good 10 minute video, probably a great 5 minute video, but was in reality a 25 minute "stream of consciousness" video. Every step in the process he described ~3 times, some of them were because he was waiting for a long running process to complete, some I think were just habit?
Much of YouTube is dealing with people who leave your video after a minute or two, so shorter is generally better.
I very much appreciate people who put the time into getting rid of the superfluous in their videos. One of my highest performing videos is a 26 second "how to" video, the majority of comments are "Thank you for not making this a 5 minute videos like the others on this topic". (Removing the riving knife from a DeWalt table saw, FYI).
I recently experimented going entirely the other way, probably went too much so. Can I teach using the Python Typer (CLI argument parsing) library in 60 seconds? Feedback from friends is "Man, that's DENSE!" https://youtu.be/1iO7wqnC7qw
