Let’s say someone sends you a video to watch. How long can said video be before you decide it’s too long to watch?

For the purpose of this question, let’s assume you’re trying to decide whether to watch it or not right when you receive it. Let’s also assume that it’s moderately interesting (5/10).

    If it’s only mildly interesting based on a “watch it right this second or never again”? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn’t capture my interest by minute 5, and I can’t find a summary anywhere (NOT “pOwErEd bY AI”)

    Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.
