Youtube algorithm uses watch time as an indicator of whether something is interesting to people. Naturally, people make longer videos, even when a short one would have been sufficient to answer a query. Algorithms literally waste away human life. It’s not that they are bad by surfacing information, but they tend to favor metrics such as time on site, watch time, etc.. anything that keeps people hooked. I dunno about you but I think this is evil. Everything is designed to appease the advertising overlords. For what? To buy some wasteful thing you’ll throw away anyway? Waste of life, waste of resources, waste of time.
