Let me be clear; I'm extremely grateful that this board is as active as it is, and I appreciate pretty much every post.
Let me also be clear that I'm in no way being mean, sarcastic, nothing of the sort.
You asked for feedback from people here, I'm giving it to you.
With love & respect. 😇🐸🫡🙏🙏
HOWEVER........
However.....
There's a massive number of posts that are 99% identical to this:
"Hey guys, here's a 1h 30 min (90 min) video, OMFG bombshell! You HAVE to watch!!!"
....With ZERO other info.
No context; zero clues as to the topic, no summary / key points; what should we even be looking for? What prompted you to even post it?
Just because you take away XYZ from a video absolutely does NOT mean everyone else will take that exact same point from the video. Most might not even SEE the single point(s) that drew you to even post it to begin with!
In fact, I'd wager that 3 different people could each watch the same video & take away 5 totally different things from it. Our mental diversity here is our strength. 😁
I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you did nothing but watch 100% of every video posted here every day, you wouldn't be able to get through more than 6 posts, because again; there are so many posts that contain multi-hour long videos. So, just randomly pick 5-6 video posts from here and you'd have at LEAST 6-18+ hours of videos.
Minimum.
Even worse; I've definitely seen many people here (whether it's the original poster or not) get butthurt / snarky when people (like me) start asking questions; asking for a short & basic summary; SOME shred of info so I can ascertain if I want to even think about spending 1-2 hours of my life listening to it (even at 1.25 or 1.5x speed)
Like; I get it & agree 100%; we should not have to, nor do we want to spoon-feed, be spoon-fed.
However, I think on the whole, we've absolutely gone way too far the other direciton which is as I've outlined; people posting videos that are 1, 2, even 3-4 HOURS long, basically refusing to provide any summary / bullet points / context, AND getting bitchy when people have the nerve to ask for even the most basic info about the video.
My humble opinion since you asked, and again submitted with respect, love & gratitude......and a little frustration.....LOL..... 😁😇🐸🫡🙏
There's one I came across & bookmarked at random.
I haven't tried any of them yet; it's on my miles-long "someday" list....LOL....
But if people could even paste their video links into a tool like that, then include the bullet points / summary along with the 1.5 hours long video; I think that alone would be HUGELY helpful in drawing more people to actually engage with the videos posted here.
Thanks - that's good AND totally fair feedback, fren. I appreciate you taking the time to get it all out.
Regarding these "AI summarizers" - I'm not a fan of them for a few reasons:
Most, if not all of the free ones stop summarizing at 60 minutes. After that is where things tend to get juicy.
The summary is VERY long winded and presented in not easy to read, not welcoming "machine" language. I've found AI to be simultaneously wishy-washy while trying to be factual and "sanitary". Not a good combo IMO.
AI's summary and conclusions often completely miss the mark, and much is "lost in translation" because AI doesn't truly understand the context.
AFAIK, they only work on YouTube videos by reading the transcript... I don't think most read rumble, but I could be wrong about that.

If it takes an hour for things to start getting juicy then the streamers need to learn to get to the damn point and not waste the first 1/3 of the stream time talking about their personal lives and crap (some Badlands hosts have gotten really bad about that.)

Yep, it's like a friend of mine who would just send me a link to some 3+ hour interview on Joe Rogan or Patrick David Bet or Tim Fool even and get chuffed when I demand a time stamp to whatever it is he wants me to see. No bro I'm not going to spend my time listening to the entire thing especially when they're probably going to end up talking about something that's news to you but you've forgotten that I told you about 2-3 years ago.
It's definitely information overload. 1,000%

Oh, one last thing; Apparently "ai-powered video summarizers" are now a thing; https://decopy.ai/youtube-video-summarizer/

I agree with you on that. I've read a few summaries, and decided not to bother reading more.
