Multipart Episodes

[Shahnewaz]

The only reason I see making multi-part episodes reasonable is when the project/work takes many weeks/months/years to accomplish. Something that can be completed in a few days is 200% better off being it's own big/small video (AND released later if needed) rather than even that being broken down into parts.

 

The only reason I see them enforcing multi-part episodes on short projects are ad revenue.

I do like the multipart episodes, but I'd like it much more if there was a shorter time between episodes.

TV episodes are approximately 22 minutes and some have intros and credit rolls.

If they make 20 minute episodes, it's OK. People complaining about monetization must know that this is their job. How dare they attempt to make money by making entertaining/informative multimedia content.

It's okay for them to be in parts, I usually get bored after a while anyways...

It depends on how many parts. If it is long videos that are +15 mins and are 2 or 3 parts they are fine. Another major problem is the time between the parts. Take the whole room water cooling for example I barely remember what happened in the first part and its not even over yet. I would prefer 2 or 3 parts and a fixed time like weekly (Something like what they are doing for the Scrapyard Wars, assuming it's going to be 3 Parts).

If only they were to release them in are a reasonable

succession instead of releasing each video ages apart.

You no longer give a single care about the whole premise

by the time it gets far enough to actually amount to anything.

I think that ideally for the viewers  if you are going to do multi episodes you should film and create all of them first and set a schedule in the first vid and stick to it. I love the multisode content but I do find it annoying that we have no idea when the next one is coming or how many episode there are.

First, why are we comparing this to traditional television, it's not and shouldn't be.

I don't think that they need to stop the whole multipart episodes, but they do need to find a better balance. 2-4 days between episodes is better. The 'suspense' should be time waiting for a new video not waiting for the conclusion of something from 2 weeks prior.
