This reminds me of Tom Scott's excellent video on electronic voting machines, where he mentioned that the system for counting votes needs to be easily understandable to the average person so that they can adequately trust it.

clicks video

Oh god, I'm NOT watching a god damned 3 hour video on facebook vs fediverse!

Seriously! Why did this guy feel the need to make a THREE HOUR VIDEO about social media??? A 10 minute video would have been a bit much, but THREE HOURS AND 9 MINUTES??? ARE YOU HIGH??? Holy shit....

Oh god, I’m NOT watching a god damned 3 hour video on facebook vs fediverse!

well, you're in luck. because the video is not about that.

In fact, fediverse gets a 10 second mention while the credits roll.

There, now you can watch the 3 hour video. It's fun.

In fact, the very reality of there being a three hour video of someone talking (as in, in written text this'd be a maximum of 10 minutes of reading, for a slow reader) about a supposed onboarding problem with the fediverse is irony at its finest.

Yeah... sure... if you always expand 10 minutes of content into 180 minutes using a wrong format, you might fuck up getting anybody to do anything. You seem to not want them to get what you're trying to teach, maybe.

Did you click the link? The main content of the video is about facebook, I just linked to a 10 second portion of it. You don't need to watch the whole video to understand the clip.

i wouldn't expect anyone to watch a video longer than 3 minutes on the subject.
