He must right? Is there any way it would naturally take someone that many tweets to say “the algorithm selects longer videos creating an incentive for fluff”?

I think that's intentional and meant as an example of the issue at hand.

Is he? It's an interesting question with proponents and detractors , one we can explore in more detail. But first, are you still spending 100s of dollars on disposable razors?

His logic is actually very wrong.

The main reason content creators create 10 minutes YouTube videos is not because of fashion but because it unlocks additional ad slots and monetisation opportunities.

If you do a 10:01 video you can earn much more than a 9:30 video.

Also, in general, YouTube recommendation algorithms tend to prefer monetized content, this is why you see more monetized content in recommendations than non-monetized.

>= 10 minutes: more views, more money.

He could just tell you.

Or he could demonstrate it while telling you.

Seems effective, doesn't it?

It took me until he said "adding fluff".

I assume he was doing that deliberately, which is why I bothered to keep reading at all!
