Why do people on youtube do this?

[willywonka666]

A friend and I were discussing youtube, and when people post something that's rather long, they break it down into parts because people are more likely to watch a 2 minute clip that gets to the point, rather than a 10 minute clip if they don't have that kinda time.

Makes sense, I have a short attention span myself. Now when I watch a short clip on youtube, the poster often wastes a good 15-20 seconds with words describing what you're gonna see(the same words that are in the title to begin with)

I know what it is, that's why I chose to watch it.

Anyone else annoyed by this?

I'm more annoyed with Youtube's 10 minute 100 MB limit. Cutting up videos can be a bitch sometimes.

Well it depends. If it's a 24 minute TV episode, I'd want the whole thing. If it's like a clip from Halo 3 or something, I'd just want a highlight reel.

Amen bro. Me and some friends started a youtube group and we've posted extra footage on facebook because we shoot over our time and have a hard time finding stuff to cut out (Facebook video's limit is 300MB or 15 minutes). It's a pain though when most of them won't see what was cut out.

I mean, if Facebook can pull that off, surely youtube can can stretch the limits.

What really pisses me off is that now even with Director status there's no way to post over 10 minutes, but those that had directors status beforehand can still post without limits.
