Love how detailed Gamer's Nexus is, but 3.5 hours is waaaaay too much. What's the TLDR?
He repeats information constantly. Any time I watched one of his videos I couldn't stop thinking how it could be cut to a third of the length without losing anything important. For my attention span it's unwatchable.
The problem with that, is if he did that. Then you would see endless people claiming hes bullshit, lying and cherry picking sources endlessly.
You have to make a point, make it again, show proof, make the point again, show different proof of the same thing, make the point a last time, followed by more proof of the same thing with extra sources. ONLY THEN. Does the avg idiot actually believe you instead of just screaming at the top of their lungs that your an idiot.
When you have to compete with misinformation and propaganda, you have to be so overly verbose that it borders on the absurd. Seriously iv watched people argue up and down that Steve lies and makes shit up in every single one of his videos because it doesn't agree with the dude bro crypto cult manosphere twitch streamer they watch.
So while your entirely right he could cut a third of his run time of his longer videos ALL of his videos really. You would just end up with the screaming idiots coming back like they use to on older gamer nexus videos before he started getting really long winded.
This guy is right. I've learned something from posting on the 'net, it's that:
A) The average user is really, really stupid
B) People will never admit they're wrong. They'd rather argue longer and pointlessly than concede a point
C) If they are ever in the complete wrong, there's crickets.
So I've made it a habit to break the habit and agree with people / say they're right when they are
Thanks, Holytimes 😎👍
You are entirely right. Just agree and nod and move on.
Very few people have to actually deal with arguing with idiots. And for them it's typically just a downside of their job. They can't just ignore it. So they have to deal with it.
For the rest of us. Just nod, agree, and move on with your life! You will be happier and have a better mental well-being.
