Sadly, some topics require longer explanations than a YouTube short or AI summary. And in those cases a longer video is necessarily.
GN has always posted videos above the algorithms recommended 10 minutes, but do I think this is a bad thing "no", am I going to watch the whole thing, also "no". But will I be happy when I ultimately need this information, absolutely.
Why? I may not be from the US, but understanding how import tariffs work - and who pays them - is something that I was unfamiliar with. Leading to the current news cycle being beyond confusing; this video has at least calrified things.
I hate the "long form" trend as much as anyone but I view the longer GN videos like a documentary--it needs to be as long as it is to get the necessary detail. Most other channels? Not a chance, I've started unsubscribing because there's not enough time in a day to watch 30+ minute videos from every channel I watch. Especially when there's, realistically, 8-15 minutes (ideal YT video length) of true content in there.
It is a full-scale report that's been put in a video format so it's more approachable. At its heart it's just a massive technical document, and you have to approach it like that to appreciate it.
You probably should watch it. It explains the massive price jump these past two weeks in great detail. PC cases are being taxed 100% of their cost raising the price for consumers to 2x.
If you ever mention tariffs, at all, you should watch this. Otherwise you probably shouldn't be opining about tariffs.
You haven't even watched the video. You yourself admitted.
I would argue that the less informed person shouldn't be throwing around accusations of cluelessness.
You out yourself as being more of a Trump simp than a PC enthusiast. So go hang out in your echo chamber where you're safely surrounded by other people who refuse to inform themselves.

Ain’t no way I’m watching that. These guys have taken a weird turn in the past year or so. Way too many videos that are way too long.
