This is a classic Netflix move. 4-, 6-, and 8-episode “docuseries” that could easily be a single movie. Lots of padding to drag it all out.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoHonestly, this is where small youtubers win over Netflix. They get to the point and make a 10-30 minute video about a topic that would be 6+ episodes on Netflix. And Youtube is basically free, or a small subscription.
- cookie_monsta 3y agoI think this is the first time I have seen YouTubers offered as an example of people who get to the point
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIndeed. 10-30 minute video is way too long for this story anyway, and the only reason YouTubers make videos this long, is because they round up to magic monetization thresholds (first one is 8 minutes, IIRC?).
- function_seven 3y agoThere's definitely two worlds on Youtube. (1) The good ones who put out those 10 or 20-minute videos that just get to it. (2) The rest of them who have useless 1-minute intros, followed by 3 minutes of "Today I'm going to show you X, and Y, and you'll be shocked at how Z doesn't do what you think. But first..." I've built up a pretty good subscription list that doesn't have (2)'s in it.
