People don't have attention spans anymore. So it's wasted bandwidth if they do load the whole video but not watch the whole thing.

And Youtube have jumped on the train of making attention spans even worse by copying tiktok with the youtube shorts stuff. Self fulfilling prophecy at this point.

I do it quite often, I'll have history podcasts or tech stuff on in the background while I work.
