"As always, I respect your time,” but proceeds to have a 44m+ video.

Just give me the text summary and be done with it.

Yeah, these days I use the little Ask button to just give a summary of videos more and more. Most videos could have been an email. I'll usually only let videos run when I need background noise, when there's sufficient detail throughout that a summary wouldn't capture, or when it's not an informative video and there's actual value to me in letting it run, like humorous videos.
Honestly there's lots of details so I can see why it would need to be 44 minutes, and it's still a video that also has to explain complexe schemes with multiple companies too
Share your sentiment, but in this case the https://electrek.co article mentions Ziroth / Ryan as source of the information, and I'd guess (not seen the video though) as original research it carries enough weight to warrant that amount of time (which I'm very probably not going to spend, either).
