Unwatchable. He uses endless repetition just to pad his video length. It is a blatant tactic to boost watch time for metrics and force in more mid-roll commercials.

In other words: Unwatchable. And when I say unwatchable, I mean it really is---truly and genuinely---unwatchable. He uses endless repetition, simply over and over again, just to pad his video length, which is to say he extends the runtime, stretching it out just to pad the length, so to speak. It is a blatant, clear, and obvious tactic to boost his total watch time for the metrics---the YouTube metrics or the TikTok metrics---and it serves the secondary, but equally frustrating, purpose of forcing in, stuffing in, and inserting more mid-roll commercials than anyone could possibly want to sit through, which, as I have stated, is why it is so unwatchable.
