we could look through different angles, for example, I can argue that short content is better. Long content is slow most often and likely with little new info (per minute 🙂). And short content, one can choose to watch more densily packed and least known information. Result is learning more in shorter period of time. I find each of us know very little and there is endless things to learn we don't know about. So why watch 5 hour documentary, over 10 minutes of densily packed material about all sorts of things we should know about, but we don't. For example, most people don't know about open source world, on the other hand, there seems to be no introduction videos about it either 🤔 With small exceptions like videos.elenarossini.com/w/64Vu…

here is another example of what seems to be very accessible & densily packed introduction of important information youtube.com/watch?v=UWh1MIMQd1… but close to nobody choose to watch it 🤷🏻 on the other hand.

Based on your answers, my initial prediction seems to be correct: "if I judge the usefulness of it [...] I guess it is just love for documentaries alone."

In other words, it is about happiness hormones or whatever it is called. And we could say, its the same for other alternative activities, like watching densely packed videos instead. So basically neither is better, and it is subjective choice of what works best for us individually.

I already watched your second documentary. Usually I would almost never watch such long things, but as I was impressed by all your work, I choose to watch it and it was very worth it. It is different from Human documentary, because it contained way more fresh ideas. I still don't agree (maybe not YET), but I am very grateful these original or extreme perspectives exist to be curious about.
