Today’s Penny Arcade is a near perfect commentary on the Unity debacle.
Whole comic linked above, but here’s the one-panel that is perfect.
These and other extremely sane takes from the guy that brought you an almost 2 hour long video on the goddamn Roblox “oof” sound effect.
Or a 3 and a half hour video about how a game is just okay. If you don’t know how to edit down videos to a reasonable length, then you’re just wasting my time.
That’s disingenuous as hell. It’s about the motifs of the genre and what the game was aiming to accomplish after it’s predecessor.
And the Roblox video was only 28ish minutes. The rest of it is on Tommy “my mother’s very proud” Tallarico.
And both deserve the full 3 hours.

Then perhaps he should have used a title and thumbnail that explained what the content of the video actually was going to be.
Also, this is not such a complicated topic that it takes three hours to explain. About the only long video that could justify its length is Folding Ideas’ video about NFTs, and only because it’s a very complex, very important, and, at the time, very relevant subject. Even then, some people just aren’t going to watch a two-hour video on the subject even if it is important. That’s the risk you take when you make a two-hour video.

It obviously doesn’t, because then you wouldn’t be trying to justify the runtime by saying it’s only 28 minutes of real content. If the real content is only 28 minutes, then the video should also only be 28 minutes. He can rant about Tommy on a different video, and I can choose or not choose to watch it. See, that’s how YouTube works.

That’s putting words in my mouth. The Roblox video is only about 28 minutes. The rest of the video the author makes very clear is about the unveiling of a pathological liar in the game industry.
It sounds like your issue is he should have picked a different title. Sure, that may have helped.
