Don’t really have a fav video, though I do like videos of analysis on random stuff.

coral spade

I don't really have a strict most favourite (especially when I'm watching a lot of different things for a lot of different reasons), but restricting myself to shorter form content and pulling from recent memory, this one's the one I came up with
Cool animation and it made me aware of Vib-Ribbon, idk what else to say
https://youtu.be/844LXH6SJoA
If I chose a long video then it'd probably be hbomberguy's video on vaccines but that's more than an hour long lol

Did you know Jesse Pinkmin was supposed to die in season 1?
It kinda depends on the video topic. Id say a lot of fun facts/hidden details stuff is more on repeating info.

Depends on the area of the content for example I would call most of Big yellow’s content video essays that explore more niche topics (great content btw) https://m.youtube.com/@BigYellowSilly

That's not a video essay that's just non fictional content
We need more shit in the 15-30 minute range and less over 1 hour

Any decently long form non-fiction video content is a video essay

There are good video essays but there are just TOO FUCKING MANY ON THE MOST MUNDANE SHIT

Any decently long form non-fiction video content is a video essay
Imo
1 hour+ minute videos with several chapters and a formal tone is a video essay

No offense noneed but this video sucks like you have the technically true but also very sensationalized thumbnail and mundane facts that anyone could willingly research
Like what the CIA has public docs of doing questionable things? 😱

This isn't a video essay
maybe not but still a great video
stuck raft
Has the tone of an extended pseudo educational pseudo entertainment video
It's only when you get longer w that tone does it become a video essay I feel
Oh 100% I love burback
I just fucking HATE the formatting of video essays
Imo the 3 giveaways for a video essay are
1 - formal-ish tone
2 - overly structured template
3 - long length
These can bend and change depending on the video vevause stuff like hbomberguy isn't necessarily as formal but it fits the other 2 like a glove
Just a baseline
The more popular and grounded in reality the topic is = how much more likely the video is to suck
The better video essays are just on random shit the creator felt like making instead of just what will get views

I think you might just not like long videos. Or documentaries
digital haven
Idk I kinda understand
I don't really feel like watching the 100th video essay on whatever thing is popular to talk about being bad/good
weak shore
I think you might just not like long videos. Or documentaries
I think it's more of "videos that give themselves more credence than they deserve by using an aesthetic of reputable acaedamia"
particularily when they don't really have much to say or are aying things that aren't really true
people definitely have a weird bias of saying "this video has good editing and a well-spoken narrator, therefor its information must be good!" without critically looking at what it actually says
Like remember this one video essay I saw a few years ago that was saying why the lego move succeeded while the emoji movie failed and the conclusion they came to was that it was how they handled celebrity voice actors as opposed to like, everything else that made one good and the other terrible
A lot of video essays are made by people who do not know how to present a point or build a case for it in a clear and concise way (especially the last two. I've seen so many times where I'm 20 minutes into a video essay and I realize I'm not sure what their point is)

in addition to this i hate it when people use video essays as a source

or in lieu of a response. Like wow, must have been a really bad video essay if after watching it you aren't equipped to make the point yourself
stuck raft

longform videos are great, but video essays are the most uninteresting, generic, and uninformative way of doing such
