Tobacco Reviews.

[Flatfish]

I have seen a number of videos on youtube, and have come to the conclusion that most of them could be at least 75% shorter.

The introduction. Light the pipe. Huge pause.
Then maybe two words. Pause. Tamping. Relight. More puffing. Another two words. Puffing. Etc.

Maybe people like all that but here is how I would do it. (This is a slightly tongue in cheek post so don't take it too seriously)

Here is how my youtube review would go:

Find out what I think of the blend beforehand.
No smoking in the video.
"This is x tobacco. It comes from x company. It contains this and that tobacco and it tastes of x and x. It tastes nice but I think tobacco y is a better option. Thank you goodbye. Don't forget to wash your hands after flushing.

I can’t tell if it’s that YouTube videos are too long, or if my ADHD has just gotten massively worse so that I need everything to get to the point in 10 seconds or less.

Right.
Can’t recall any YouTube tobacco review I’ve watched in the last 6 months for more than one minute. Tom Petty said you gotta set the hook in the first ten seconds, so I agreed with @ThermionicScott

I don't understand why a tobacco review would need accompanying video or audio to be honest. A description of component, cut and availability is most of what I would want to know.
