C9 has a lot of different types of content. Forcing everything down to 5 minutes would cut them off at the knees. Certain types of content just take longer, like the "The Future of C#" (6.0) stuff, there's just a lot of content to cover...

You cannot really compare it to business marketing videos where they're only trying to deliver the core features of the product and little else. These videos actually have legitimate content, and when some of them are 1.5 hrs long it has to be broken up by some small talk/banter, etc.

Personally I just want quality content. That content could be 5 minutes or 35 minutes, I often just leave it on in the "background" (to the side) while I am working on other stuff anyway.
