> I've rarely watched a video with more 'fluff' padding out the content. There were multiple sections of music and irrelevant images that stretched out to 30-40 second each which did nothing but waste my time. At least they're easy to skip.
I felt the same way but didn't want to comment as it felt a bit rude, I even want to see his profile because the amount of production 'fluff' seemed excessive for a relatively low 84k subscriber count.
A low amount of videos (14 right now) and ~80% of the video views on this one, it feels weird.
All in all, interesting video and at least he pointed out the elephant in the room about merging to some GPT model.
Well, to comment on the 80% thing, that's usually how these algorithms go. Someone makes video after video gaining some to little traction. And then they make their first video that scrapes above the margin, gets posted somewhere, gains traction and becomes vastly more popular than their other videos. What we're witnessing is this person's largest video yet, i mean it got posted here, and we're all discussing it.
As for the disproportionally produced nature of it, sometimes smaller creators who have money to spend will pay producers, editors, artists to help them on their video. These people have a portfolio that they advertise and they sell their services with some personality. Either this individual has experience video editing and has created all the fluff themselves for some reason, or the person has enough money to spend they dicided to hire a professional editor, who has made all these sections and spliced them into the video. Possibly the creator gave the editor a minimum length to produce and not enough real footage. Possible this exact thing happened but the creator and editor are the same person.
Youtube has changed a lot in the past 5 years. There a huge industry of video editors and artists who support the professionalization of even first time youtube creators, as the bar is raised ever higher and higher to be heard above the noise
