MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A YouTuber five hours into producing his new seven hour video is reportedly starting to think he’s going to need a little more time to finish it, sources have confirmed.
“Oh man, where does the time go,” asked local YouTuber Miles Barr, after researching and writing the script for his newest video, but before shooting, editing, or posting anything. “It’s getting late already and I really thought I’d be almost finished with recording by now, but I just finally got my mic to stop being weird. I’m starting to think I won’t get this 400-minute video up tonight after all like I promised I would in my Discord server. Looks like everyone that responded to me was right.”
The aforementioned Discord users reportedly were confused by Barr’s intentions to script, produce, record, cut, and upload a seven hour video in more or less seven hours.
“Even if he was livestreaming something, that would be a hassle,” said Jo Beckwith, who couldn’t remember why she was in Barr’s Discord community . “But no, he thinks he’s going to make a ranking of every single Dragon Quest game and have it done before bed tonight? There’s no way. Especially the way he keeps asking us questions in Discord. I don’t mind helping people out, but he seems way in over his head. That last question he asked was ‘What is stereo? Is it new?’ Honestly, I feel bad for the guy.”
YouTube executives warned aspiring videographers against having unrealistic expectations regarding the production of successful YouTube content.
“We don’t want to give anyone the wrong idea,” said Susan Wojcicki. Chief Executive Officer of YouTube. “It takes a lot of work, dedication, and patience to become a successful YouTuber. You don’t just turn on your camera, shoot a seven hour video and upload it. That’s no way to get followers. Oh, unless you’re screaming about gender or children’s bathrooms. Then you can just let it rip. But guys like Miles here would do really well to rethink their approach to creating content for our platform.”
As of press time, Barr had let everyone know he didn’t think the video would be up until tomorrow morning, possibly the afternoon.
