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.

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.

Runtime is a useless filter: longer videos carry less padding, not more
Padding falls from 45% under ten minutes to 28% over an hour, and measured value rises the same way. Picking the shorter video is, on average, backwards.

The shape of a YouTube video: every value curve overlaid
Average measured value climbs fast, holds through the middle two-thirds of a video, then falls sharply near the end. Here is the curve, averaged across the library.

The useful part of the median measured video starts at 1:02
Across the videos we have measured the useful part starts at 1:02, and one in ten makes you wait past 3:47. Here is how that splits across twenty subjects.

We measured YouTube across fifteen categories. This is how much of it was filler.
A padding census across fifteen categories: the median video is 40% structure, and the long ones are the least padded, not the most.
