#12This feels like the inevitable outcome of the youtube algorithm favouring longer videos.
does it? i get pushed so many shorts and 15 minute video essays

#13I tried a couple videos in both this site and Kagi's summarizer, both were decent but each time Kagi did better.
Whoa, I've been using Kagi for two years and didn't realize the summarizer could do videos!
It only works when there’s a transcript. It’s not “watching” the video. That said, it works very well most of the time for me.

15 minutes actually is longer than what early videos were. The fact that it seems short is a reflection of the algorithmic push for longness.
Shorts are a whole different thing. But there's a void of videos from 90 seconds to 7 minutes that just answer a question.

#15I tried with a few Thunderf00t videos. He has good analysis, but the guys repeats everything too many times. Many are about silly impossible "inventions" / scams, but this is an experiment that he published in Nature Chemistry: https://tldw.tube/?v=LmlAYnFF_s8 " High speed camera reveals why sodium explodes! --> " Coulombic explosion. (Sodium and water reaction) "

How can anyone make a generalized statement about “the algorithm” when it is by definition personalized?
All YouTube cares about is keeping you on the platform as long as possible.

#18I thought maybe I'd finally be able to through a Wendigoon video with this, since I'm generally interested in the things he talks about but can't stand some of his linguistic tics. Unfortunately looks like most of his videos are too long for this, which I guess is ironic considering the name. TL;DP
Here’s one video above 1 hour and it works with Scribe https://www.appblit.com/scribe?v=FQUo2r-ow-k

#19What I'd really like is a service that edits down YouTube videos by removing all the stock footage and talking head crap, then speeding up the audio to fit over the remaining novel information—whether that's new battlefield footage, electron micrographs, demonstrations of machining techniques, or just elephant toothpaste. The talking head filler seems like it would be easy to recognize, but stock footage recognition presumably would have a significant false negative rate, which is okay.
This would reduce some videos to just a transcription, which would be the ideal outcome, I think. The less of my limited time on Earth I waste watching some dumbshit reading a script at a camera, the better. Summarizing the transcript further like this site does might be occasionally useful, of course.

Yeah, for many years it didn't allow uploading videos of over 10'.
