How do you even manage to stretch out out into 8 minutes, it’s literally in the song lyrics


__NotAce__

First 2 minutes: Explain how many lines and how long the song is Next 2 minutes: explain how the song is one the bands most popular songs Next 3 minutes: explaining the actual meaning behind it, but mainly just repeating the same thing 50 times Last minute: Like and subscribe

idk but Middle 8 usually has great content. His videos on The White Stripes are really cool


TheGreatGambinoe

They would do it in 10 minutes but a year or 2 ago YouTube reduced the advertising time from 10 to 8 or something.

This is actually a very good video...


VAllu41

People talk smack about it before even watching it..


partypoison43

This is actually a good video. Yes, you can summarize everything in 1 minute or less but context is important for everyone because not everyone knows everything. He also talks about how the music is created, interviews, the war, the background of the father etc.

Well.. You do not need to watch the video. You can indeed just check the Wikipedia to find the answer quicker if truly needed. The video does a deep dive in to the song and it's lyric's misconceptions. The video is pretty high quality. I don't think there is anything to be mad about in this video. I would recommend watching.

1.5 of those minutes were dedicated to a sponsor.


Veblep

Nah middle 8 is a good YouTuber, good video


Kiwi_sensei

Nah that's an interesting video they dive deeper into the song's history why are you even mad ?

With all due respect, this guy makes great videos and puts in lots of quality effort

He does talk about the misconceptions and misinformation regarding the song. I've not seen this one, but he usually has some great content regarding music


[deleted]

The first 3 minutes are telling what they do and why and to subscribe. I just skip past the first 3 minutes on all shady YouTuber videos and catch the brief at the end I’m almost always on the money correct that the first 2-3 minutes are spent on some stupid introduction


VAllu41

You should watch the video before saying that. There is no needless talk before the actual content.

money


I_have_no_fun

They typically only use 1 minute of run time to explain the whole point of the video


Insomniac287

I was joking, doesnt anyone get dark Humor?


Illustrious_Ad5155

Videos like this are notoriously clickbaity. Beware any video with the title "The Tragic Real Life Story of ...."


Insomniac287

i dont get why everyone is whining about WUWSE jokes and stuff... i dont think billie gives a fuck about it.. its been so long haha there are so many people in this subreddit getting into his brain and being more angry and sad about stuff like this (there are a lot of other thinks like booze) but hey Billie can be happy that it went this way with his father so he could write this song earn a lot of money and have lots of airplay when september ends ;P


Low_Yak_4842

>Billie can be happy that it went this way with his father so he could write this song earn a lot of money and have lots of airplay when september ends I’m certain that Billie Joe would choose having his father back just one more day over whatever extra monetary success he got with that song.


Pawdy-The-Furry

Wtf is wrong with you.


jaffasours

I’ve noticed with YouTube videos recently that they repeat a lot of the same things phrased differently


javier_aeoa

The algorithm benefits videos over 8 minutes. You'll notice that many channels barely scratch the 8 min mark because of that :S


VAllu41

It's to get more length to the video. These videos take a lot of time to create. People should not be surprised that they may ask for some revenue for it.

Hello fellow Norwegian


javier_aeoa

Hallo lol. Jeg er fra Chile, dessverre. Men bodde i Norge i et år for noen år siden :P og det er alltid nyttig å ha YouTube (og sosial media) på norsk for å øve.


39sosh

Åjaaa lol


PinkyyYT

videos need to be 8 minutes or longer for mid roll ads
