Too Long?

All depends on the content. A high-energy in your face gameplay that has me enthralled could easily last 15-20 minutes and I'd be happy to watch it all. Flip that over and try do a vlog 15-20 minutes, no matter how good I think I would struggle past the 5/7 minute mark
 
There is hardly any video I can watch for more than 5 minutes straight and that's stretching it. I have unusually short attention span though lol.
 
I don't know if I have a length limit, I'm a fan of long-form content (co-optional podcast, ~3 hour videos) and long running series (Northernlion playing binding of isaac, half an hour a pop, on video #250). As long as the video is entertaining throughout (no pointless padding or repetition), it can be as long as it need be.
 
For vlogs, 10 minutes. Beauty & "how to" videos 5-7 minutes. Random funny videos, 3.5 minutes. I will only watch the Shaytard pass 15 minutes lol
 
Interesting personality VLOGGER, I will watch 10 minutes maximum. For travel VLOGS, if they cover up everything within 5 minutes should be nice. For Gaming channels, I may watch up to 20 minutes but still it depends on the game.
 
For me depends in the content. no matter what its for, if its interesting i can watch more of it, and if boring then ill fast forward or leave.

Usually the longer videos are episodes or documentary stuff. Theres a trending 7min? Video of a guy operating on a chocolate bar and inserting a kit kat. Funny concept so i checked it out. Turned out incredibly boring, too slow, and was mostly silence with no background music. I immediately fast forwarded to the end. It was a 30 second concept dragged out too long.
 
For me, under 10 minutes is great for me, or if its a gaming channel, and they are playing a game that I have played and enjoyed, I will see a longer video
 
I have only one video that goes on for 9 minutes and you know which one is it Patrick but with me I try to keep most of my videos three to four minutes. When watching others I like to network and I'm not one for watching for a long time, nothing longer than ten minutes. Also from experience most of my audience don't watch past three minutes sometimes so i always believe shorter is better.
