Totally agree with this. I recently went back onto some old channels that I used to love in the early days of KZread to rewatch their content and I found myself getting really annoyed at the short 3 minute videos. It felt like as soon as I picked a video it was already over and I had to choose another. As a consumer I realise I’m now looking for videos that are 15 minutes or longer, I rarely watch anything shorter than 15 minutes.

I worked at a content farm for a year, and the timeframes you're given make it basically impossible to do anything accurately. Like, when every team member needs to produce 1 piece of longform content/day-even if you tell yourself you're going to be genuinely helpful-you end up being forced to cut corners and lie if you want to keep your job. I knew I was responsible for creating unhelpful garbage whose sole purpose was to appear on search results. It made me miserable, but it was between that and not being able to pay rent. I think the volume demands of that sort of media company mean that everybody forced to make content in them is eventually just going to break down and start half-assing it. Which is awful for user retention, right? You show up in the algo but you annoy people and they don't stick around.

In terms of video lengths, it’s important to note that, in the first 5 or so years of KZread, there was a cap on how long videos could be. They kept upping it as time wore on and creators started making longer videos, but it started out as 8 minutes, then 12, etc. Incidentally, this made it a lot harder to catch copyright infringement, so you could watch a whole episode of TV that the uploader had pirated in a playlist of, for example, “Buffy S4.3 parts 1-6.” (The internet was fun back then, the heyday of Crunchyroll being a free fansub site and sketchy downloads of songs by your favorite band’s high school demos.)

It's possible that that lyric video cutoff wasn't an original issue.

The time will be listed properly but the video will act like it ended well before the actual end. If you're lucky there's a mirror on Dailymotion or an unlisted version on a channel they were affiliated with or something someone has found in the comments.

VideoJug sounds exactly like something a group of friends started for fun then tried to make a living off it, this blend of serious and comedic probably happened because early KZread was the wild west and there were no rules. People have yet to acknowledge that early KZread was people sticking around as the monetary incentive to start a career off of this didn't come out until much later, that's what made KZread something no one else could replicate, free unpredictable content with no rules uploaded at whatever rate the maker felt like it.

Interior crocodile alligator, Sarah Z is a part of debater theater 😂

I think the general shift in the culture of KZread from “random home video” to, well its hard to say accurately but maybe “independent film distributor”, played a huge role in this. In the old days of KZread, pre- & just post Google era, I think it was possible for both serious content and random fatuous comedy to coexist. I feel like back then we felt being “random” was just about the same thing as being relatable. So having a channel where you post a serious how to video, and then a parody of how to videos and old film villains made a lot more sense. The audience, of at the time I think mainly preteens, felt like the creators were relatable people who weren’t afraid to poke fun at what they did or just be “random” and zany and silly. Thus someone might stick around to watch more videos. Now that I mention it, the whole sort of anarchic, Python inspired, zany comedy and sincere silliness we went through back then and called “being random” might make an interesting topic for a future video. I think we can see echoes of it in the prank (gone x) types of kids channels that have emerged lately, though I wanna say the early stuff was less mean spirited? I wouldn’t call anything we did in those days pranks, stunts and skits would be more like it.

Just love that you’ve upgraded from a stemmed glass of wine to the full carafe. Immaculate

It is clearly a jug.

This vid is 5 months old and she went back to edit the description to reflect philosophy tube’s new name... iconic

love that you updated the video description to credit Philosophy Tube as Abigail

I love hearing my other internet friends' narration in my internet friends' videos; parasocial media has destroyed me.

I hear a familiar voice and light up! And somewhere in my brain I get super excited that all these different people I know not only know each other but might be friends

I can't stop thinking of Ally Beardsley in Adventuring Party when I see that content vase

Sarah always has such great theatre kid energy in her videos, not even being facetious, makes me nostalgic.

I mean this as a compliment, I feel like I would see Sarah at a bar not drinking anything. Yknow like just taking sips of wine. She just gives off those vibes.

KZread is a strange place I had no idea this had happened it's really interesting to see the rise and fall of a channel great video

Sarah you would love the podcast "How to Not". They would find ridiculous wikiHow pages and try to follow the advice earnestly

Ooh, sounds interesting, thanks

i completely lost it at "once you've mastered the 'quack'"

OMG, many years ago I had a phase of being a huge fan of Videojug. My favorite were the card tricks by XANTOR. I still recall at least a few times a month when it says "Now it's time for the M-A-G-I-C: Illusion!" It's kinda sad to see how it ended up.

When it comes to tutorials I still gravitate to very short videos. Under a minute if possible. If the tutorial doesn't get to the point fast enough, is a parody or only shows a workaround, I'll exit and avoid the channel forever. It's honestly surprising they got that many viewers with their mishmash of content under a How-To label. It's pretty funny though. I could totally see myself subscribing if I had randomly seen one of them while not looking for actual information. Just the highly specific titles are incredible.

Thank you for including a fake vomit warning!

VideoJug walked so WikiHow could run

Something about this whole thing smacks of money laundering, especially the high investment rate but the consistently low quality of the video output and lack of oversight of the channel. Another red flag is that Bladenmore boasts such a presence in the "Gulf states" (as stated in their website press releases, and they have had offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai) that they have a whole dedicated version of their site in Arabic. Were you able to find out anything about why Bladenmore is operating in those countries? I mean, I'm sure businesses there want sleek corporate videos like anywhere else, but it's a weirdly specific crossover for a company based in the UK/US to be doing, especially in such a notoriously corrupt part of the world. (Edit: Plus, I spent some time on the English side of the site, trying to figure out what Bladenmore actually DOES, and I'm still not sure. It's so broad and vague I'm totally confused as to how anyone could decide they want or need these services...) Regardless, super interesting video! The internet is such a weird place...

idk man, there's tons of foreign companies in the Gulf region mainly from the US and UK. You know, Arabs are like ...20-30% of the UAE's population. Everyone else is an immigrant.

I thought this was going to be about tutorial videos in general and I started having flashback of that omnipresent banjo + glockenspiel royalty free music

God I remember some of these being little in jokes between people I knew in middle school, even tho I never thought of them as viral really

Thanks for your work, love your videos!

I was planning to watch all the ads in this video, but i don't see any :(

Missed chance to name this video "how to analyze how to videos"

Whoa I just subscribed and I'm making my way through your vids (loving them so far!) and hearing Abby's old voice in this one was weird as hell

This video blasted me back to a decade ago so hard, I got whiplash.

I mean, it's kind of odd to bring up the length, considering back then you literally COULDN'T make videos longer than 10 minutes. So they HAD to be on the shorter side, rather than it being only a choice. Also even uploading a video that was a couple minutes long could take over an hour.

God save us if the YTP community gets ahold of these.

Honestly, all the stuff about the links between Bladenmore, VideoJug, and Arcuro is just setting off 'tax evasion' bells in my head - I'm not sure if that's just me.

I love Howcast. I remember using them a lot in middle school. I also vaguely remember coming across video jug, but I never knew they put out all those joke videos until this video lol.

i've been watching a lot of philosophy tube lately and i'm really happy for you that you got olly to voiceover in your video!

How to improve your video essay: Show your title cards for longer than 0,000001 seconds. I had to rewind a couple of times. I'm old-ish and not a native speaker, so just think of it as making your video more accessible for the language impaired. ;) Oh and also : this makes sense of you keep in mind that at least half of online business is a scam.
