About

Videos that give you a new perspective. Post your favorites! Watch them over a meal, or when you're slacking at work.

A video essay is a type of video that makes an argument or critique, usually from a single creator's perspective. They can be short or long, casual or formal, modest or theatrical, and cover any topic.

Video essays are slightly different from documentaries, media reviews, and video journalism, but the lines are sometimes blurry.

What to Post

All top-level posts should be a link to a video essay that isn't hosted behind a paywall.

In the post title, include the title of the video, its creator, and its duration using the format [MM:SS] or [HH:MM:SS].

Any subject is welcome, provided it doesn't break one of the rules.

Rules

1. Be nice

Be respectful and constructive. No harassment. No grossly offensive images. No hate including racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, etc.

2. No shitposts

Noticeably low-quality content and videos that stretch any reasonable definition of "video essay" will be removed.
