Toooooooo much dribble.
What is dribble?
A Youtube creator talking too much and/or the film footage doesn't get to the point AND he or she video is 5 minute & longer.
Boy you got that right.
So many tubers are making 20-30 minute vlogs....who wants to watch that?
5 to 10 minutes is plenty.
If its an instructional video, or a long format video of an event, that's fine, they will be longer.
But yabbering for 20-45 minutes about your day, or yourself, or your feelings about another youtuber or whatever seems boorish. I just dont click on those very often, but if I do, I will skip thru it till I see something in the scene that changes.
I think a lot of the long-format vlogs are created for, and based on, the monetization algorithms:
Longer vids mean more ads, and more viewers watching longer, which sometimes means that the video will be 'recommended' more often.
I've had a youtube channel for 11 years, completely un-monetized. I don't care at all if anyone watches or likes any of the videos...cuz 10 views pays the same as a million views. Zero dollars and zero cents!
