If by long form you mean professional then yes. If by long form you mean long then no

That is literally someone yammering into a GoPro for a portion of an hour.

I'm not that old but that's someone yammering into a GoPro for a portion of an hour. Youtube is good for long discussions where people constantly talk and just go on. It may look prettier than someone talking on a shitty phone but the main point is that it's still the long yammering.

Jesus Christ. The bar to clear was long form. YouTube rarely recommends me a video that's less than eight minutes long. Contrapoints is a person talking into a camera. But it's long form content that kleinbl00 is pretending doesn't exist because he's an elitist or something. This isn't long form content because some angry old man disqualified an entire genre of video due to ignorance. But please jack off kleinbl00. I usually just observe his blindspots and watch him die on hills he created. Help him die there. There's a conversation to be had here but dude went straight for "I'm right" negating any conversation because he's never had an uninformed opinion and I'm usually wise enough to not provoke him
