Shelf life: how long the material in a video stays true, by subject
Measured shelf life runs from 84.8 in science to 37.9 in tech news — a 47-point gap. Runtime does not predict it and neither does difficulty. Subject does.

Does a longer video teach you more? We checked, and the answer is yes
Measured depth rises by 31 points from the shortest videos to the longest, holds inside every subject we can test, and buys less usefulness than you would expect.

Do you need an account to use Gistil? Mostly, no

A chapter list tells you where things are, not which one is worth watching
Section by section across the library. The parts a chapter list would call content vary by 34 points inside a single video, and length barely predicts which is which.

The shape of a YouTube video: every value curve overlaid
