Has anyone else noticed how often YouTube videos nowadays have 5-7 minutes of preamble just vaguely related to their supposed topic?
Tons of videos seem to do this these days.

In this example video supposedly about the order of the English Alphabet, Simon Whistler rambles about symbols, kanji-based languages and Egyptian hieroglyphs for SEVEN MINUTES, half of the entire video's runtime, before even getting to the idea of letters or ordering.
I run into videos like this constantly now and I always end up quitting them after a few minutes when I'm like what the hell does this have to do with the title I clicked on.
