My videos are slow-paced. I take pauses in my narration and rarely throw text on the screen. The ambient music supporting my voice is slow-paced, and that’s also true for the visuals.
I make my videos this way on purpose because I think slow is a good thing. Some might call the pace boring, but I think it’s relaxed. My videos require patience, but I’d say that’s a virtue in a world where attention spans are shrinking rapidly.

Who the hell is saying this stuff is boring?
Every video i watch of yours nearly put me on the brink of an existential crisis (affectionate)
For real, I think people are too hard on him.
I, for one, nearly vomit with excitement and hyperventilate until I pass out and concuss myself just seeing his video notifications pop up (catatonic)
I mean of course this can be boring, it's not necessarily about the topic though it can be the way how he produces the videos. This way of teaching and the nonchalant voice can make you bored. Sometimes I do get tired but interested at the same time. Like in school, important topics but overlooked because of how less stimulant it is.
@@3rd.ey.e Then i would have to ask if they actually thought about it, these things are existential as hell yet there’s still people that find this boring?
It really makes me wonder if they’re paying attention
They probably have 0 attention span
You say that, but you help me detox with my attention span. You actually make me slow down and think, it’s quite refreshing
👍 those in need/want will follow suit
I am just happy that there are people like me who are increasing or are trying to increase their attention span and are succeeding
I like slow paced long format videos like this, although i usually watch them while doing another task, despite this i know and hate my shrinking attention span and worry for how others will be influenced
Read novels for attention span
The sad fact is that the video component here is not necessary. These are ideas to think about. They don't require video. Still, the b roll is nice eye candy.
@@dkdisme That's the thing, you could also as well just listen to it.
All my life. I have been one to read the newspaper while listening to the radio. I let my attention drift to whichever is more interesting. It is sort of like mental multitasking.
Same I usually watch these while washing dishes or cleaning my room or something
I was diagnosed with adhd as a child, when I look back it was because i was overly social, constantly questioning authority from a young age. The teachers didn’t like me from a young age they told my parents I would never be able to function in the world without medication. I was put on adderall from 9 till my early 20s. I’d say the damage the drugs did gave me what they call “clinical adhd or add” but I don’t really believe in it anymore. I just learn different and I don’t need drugs or society telling me what success is. I live with my mom and we’re starting a homestead. Many people would look at me at 26 as a loser because I’m not on my own racing to get a pretty little box in a city close to a career. Well my mom can’t do it on her own and I like being helpful. Sometimes we need to slow down.
I love this. You go random internet stranger 🩷🩷 “I just learn different and I don’t need drugs or society telling me what success is”
Bro, far from boring! Your videos have literally turned my life around.
You sir, are a teacher of wisdom
What country are you from friend
@@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanza England Brother 🙏🏼
@@sebastiansklair9379 my condolences sir.
LOL rtard
@@PaulRudd1941 Trust me, I’m aware… This country is basically collapsing around me and following Brexit, its never been so hard to move elsewhere…
I sleep to your videos every night. Not only they are informative, but soothing at the same time
I discovered your channel in 2020 , it's so great 👍🏼
Same!
You help me destress and become grounded. Your voice is very unique and so are your videos. Plus I like to think I’m a little more smarter with the information you provide.
Attention span and overstimulation aside ,I really like your slow paced video format It creates a chill atmosphere, Especially your shower thoughts videos , I always put one on before I go to sleep there quite comforting.
I love your videos the algorithm hasn’t been recommending you lately but I do like listening to your stuff while editing photos it opens my mind sometimes.
I am also aspiring to create Low Stimulating Videos, i was unsure in the beginning that maybe people won't watch those videos. But you have certainly changed my view on that. Thank you. Also great video as always.
Love the slow pace. Never change! 🤍
Really appreciate you brother, Thank you for these. Thank you for the time you put in, the value always comes through.
I enjoy the slow pace, simple voicing, and easily concentrating music you add. I also like that you see the problems in the world, rather than going along with them. It makes me happy there's someone who notices how society is slowly destroying itself.
Your videos are the opposite of boring. You've helped me a lot, Aperture ❤
I'm really thankful for your content actually, it's some of the rare stuff that actually forces me to skow down and start firing the ol' grey matter.
I clicked on this video just say, you don't make boring videos man, what you make is philosophical videos, the kind of thing that kids these days don't care about, but us, we watch this
The best thing I do is stay away from short form content. I rarely click on any video under 8 minutes. It has helped me immensely.
I usually watch this kind of videos to fall asleep or something.but i had to watch and pay attention to this one till the end. Thanks
You've helped many of us Aperture. Thank you for what you do. Out of the 100+ channels I'm subscribed to, you are in my top 5. I really look forward to your content.
Is the show "closer to truth" one of your top 5? Curious
I love the pace of your videos it gives me time to absorb and reflect on what you are saying. So many UA-camrs I have to put the speed down where I get so irritated because they talk so damn fast. I want to absorb what they're saying and I want to see the things they put on the screen and it's on the screen for a blip and they're talking so fast that I barely registered that I missed something it's very frustrating.
I find the pace of your videos to be perfect
Your videos are so interesting to me i learn a lot from them❤️❤️
Thank you so much, you're videos are like a breath of fresh air. It's what keeps me coming back and watching every time you post, just like you said.
You are so welcome!
I dont know if you are just one person or a team, but I love your videos. Usually I listen them 1 time and then revisit the same video after a few months to mature the ideias or to connect them with my own ideias. Keep them as they are, they are perfect.
nah, your videos are interesting. the stuff you say keeps us hooked & i love questioning my beliefs & philosophies which you so kindly offer & the "dullness" of these videos as you say it, puts me in a relaxed mood & calm my overstimulated & overthinking senses down
Amazing video. Really enjoyed the visuals. Never payed attention to the visuals before, but this time when my complete attention was on the video, it was great. The points you made about skimming through books was very accurate. I worry about the short attention span. I'm glad you're making videos the way you want to ("relaxed." I wouldn't say boring). Youre acting the change you want to see in the world and thats fucking awesome.
Your videos and others like your's are a break in the hyper retentive content that is out there in the main space of things online. People with (as you said) this virtue of patients, or maybe just a curiosity are watching your stuff because it's well written and effortfully touching on topics that are relevant and interesting.
I LOVE this everything in my life going so fast love to get a second of calmness with you videos
Idk about many people but when I watch his videos I always pause them to really think through the concepts and ideas. But in today’s day and age I don’t usually do that because either it is useless info or stuff I already know. I really appreciate aperture for how wise he is he just makes the stupid stuff really obvious that there dumb. Thanks aperture for being one of the only ones
It's interesting to me, because I feel more stressed with shorter videos. If I see a video is max 5 minutes I'm less likely to watch it. But I do what you said - I run videos in the background, but while doing things that still keep me pretty focused on the content (what I mean is, I'm not falling asleep to it or doing noisy things). But yeah. Long form is the best.
I am the opposite I won't click on anything shorter than 8 min. I am to lazy to keep changing videos haha
@@KingcoleIIV tbh, 5 minutes was a random number - I almost didn't click on this video but I love his videos so I came here otherwise. Most videos I watch are at the shortest 25 minutes, I'd say!
I feel boring is an interesting choice of word. But in saying that I can’t think of a more fitting one for the message you’re sending.
love everything about your videos. i am huge fan... they are deeply refreshing during these chaotic and ridiculous dystopic times.
you are literally my favorite. you calm my mind. thank you 🫡
Whenever I am on my way to College for any exam I listen to your videos whenever I am angry or Irritated I watch your video.
I have replaced music with your video and that was a very important change I needed in my life
Good point - Well made.
Please keep doing what you do.
Slow paced videos (anything thing really) is preferred in this high paced hellscspe. Thank you 🎉
Thank you for this video. I am impressed with how you can edit your video so much, and not keep it overstimulating.
i really love this style of video! its slow and makes me stay and focus completely. although i dont enjoy the stock footage (id rather something like a voiceover of chill minecraft gameplay or a timelapse or something, but its better tha;he high retetion sutff out there. keep it up!
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. You'll always have our support.
I want to say that I watch you at work make me feel in peace and relax. Ty.
Assalamualaikum brother, just so that you know you are not at all boring, infact you are one of my favourite channel. Your voice is filled with authenticity and your work has strongly influenced me.
26/M/Berlin.
Thanks
100% oversimulation affects me negatively. I tend to crash pretty hard after work because of the fact I usually have something running in the background as I work, combined with phone distractions and other distractions. I've been trying to go back to some of the things I used to enjoy as a teen (reading, drawing primarily) as a way to force myself to slow down. I've also noticed I've been favoring creators that take a slower approach to their content lately too, and longer form content. I noticed that jumping from one 10 minute youtube video to another over the course of even an hour can mentally exhaust me and that longer TV shows and movies don't do that as much. My attention span for reading is back to about where it was about a decade ago, when I was fresh out of high school. For a while, all I had the patience for was shorter novella types of works that were basically only fluff because that was all I had the mental capacity for.
You do a great job honestly hearing your voice helps make your videos more grabbing (in a good way)
I have never found your videos boring. They help me focus when I’m working on a project. The subject and speed helps me to pay passive attention without getting overwhelmed or totally tuning out. I think your context is excellent.
Thank you for your service my guy. We need more people like you for sure.
Your content is amazing, your sponsors are incredibly exciting, and your channel is something special and unique. I cannot thank you enough for all the things youve brought me to ponder upon and try to implement and understand in my own life. I suggest you avoid listening to those who dissuade u from being this way and your channel to be this way. I cannot wait to see what more you upload. Keep going, bro.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for everything you do man. And please dont listen to the people who try to discourage you from doing what you love
I love your videos! Don't switch up on us. My high-strung self finds these videos interesting, food for thought, intellectually stimulating, and very unique. I can not say I have ever come across another channel that speaks about the topics, in depth, like you. Some of my favorites are your "shower thoughts." The videos may not be for everyone, but they'll be OK. There's plenty of choices to better suit them.
I really appreciate you for making these videos ❤❤
Thank you for making these videos and changing our lives for the better.
Personally I don’t think they’re boring. The very reason I watched these videos is because it gets the brain juices flowing, makes me look at it in a different perspective. Keep em coming!
Your videos are calm and relaxing.
LOVE your vids...so enlightening they really force me to think. #nofreewill
I LOVE content like this, I see so many people, even my parents and sister nowadays that they just keep scrolling on their phones. I've uninstalled Instagram and Tiktok for 3 years now and I don't regret it in the slightest. I also like to watch educational videos to learn something instead of watching braindead memes all day.
Your voice is calming that's why I keep on coming
I quite loved this video. Thank you.
Bro, I've honestly and started watching allot of your videos since January started due to my realisation that the attention span of my family, friends, strangers and even myself were shortening. I've actually come from far and still have a ways to go with fixing myself but I actually find your videos way more intriguing than boring ❤
I'm a Boomer and we dealt with life much better WITHOUT the Internet as a whole, Facebook, Instagram and IGNORANT TikTok bullshit. These current generations of people are Fk'd, I love your video format.!!! Keep up the GREAT work dude.!!!!
Yessir bro I’m glad we’re all waking up to the negatives of the digital era. Thank you for spreading awareness and helping maintain a balance!
Keep up the good work. I find the slower approach better. Some of us like to think & assess whilst listening. Super-fast vids are poison. The advertisers' trick. I blame tik-tok. Carry on.
My life is already a boring nightmare. So much so that it just makes me hate the internet. And its only going to get worse when people choose to live in the virtual reality over the physical one. Life just feels so strange.
I watch your videos before my english tests to set up my mood.
I love listening to your videos, and I try everyday to be more present and mindfull. My adhd however will not let me do it for longer then a few minutes before my whole body starts screaming at me to do something. I've worked on this my entire adult life. It sucks. Im not saying oh pity me, Im just saying it as it is. I tried now to watch your video without doing something else (I usually do picross in the evening to wind down and listen to your or someone elses video) and I lasted 3 minutes and 23 seconds before I physically couldnt take it anymore. I hate it. And the face that people are doing this to themselves is really sad, intentionally or not. Adhd isnt fun, its not a superpower. For a lot of us its a debilitating condition that affects everyday life to the extent that we are unable to function like and avarage adult should.
Your slow pace made my skin itch in the beginning, now I love it. In that way you really helped me. Im the kind of person who speeds up audiobooks as to not lose focus. I've found however that I cant listen to these types of videos whenever. As I said, I do it in the evenings so calm down, to destress after the day is done. Otherwise the slow tempo stresses me out even more. And this is when Im on medication. Before I got meds i was just.. a complete mess. Now I can actually enjoy things again. :)
Thanks for your awesome videos. Keep em coming
Excellent content, keep up the good work
I can listen to you for hours. Thankyou
ur voice is calming ngl, when i was like 10 i would alway watch your shower thoughts videos to go to sleep
I love this channel. Weird I don't know your name or all that much about you, but I love the lo-fi nature of the videos.
Your videos are the best!
I always come back to this channel, and Apeture never disappoints
Since I found you, you have been my favourite channel on UA-cam! ❤️
To be honest, i used to watch your channel only to improve my english (im from spain), but the message of this video is really great!
Bro I listen to ur videos while traveling for college, really helps me to cope with the shitty public transport service
Who said anything about you being boring or something? This, is quality content! This has to be slow. Keep doing what you're doing, please!
2.21 million subs and claims they’re boring… lol. I know it’s just click bail titling but we all know these aren’t boring. They’re relaxing and insightful
This dude was smoothe with it. Keep making cool shit 👍
Your voice make it the most relaxing video. It's like an ASMR ( hope I get it right)
Exceptional, informative content and awesome presentation style ♥️✌️🇮🇪
Love your videos ❤
your videos are not boring, they just don't hit that "DOPAMINE PEAK" for those reels scrollers...
so they just can't be focused on your videos
You are my favorite UA-camr (PBD and Joe Rogan on 2nd place). I was looking for you on X as well, but you are not there. 😊 Congratulations to your channel, but first of all to your life philosophy. 🎉❤
I don't mind the slow pace videos I actually find your videos really interesting
Been watching you since 2020, I always search u up on youtube at night, u help me relax😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
This format is my favorite type. I sleep with this channel playing on whatever queue I’d play it on.
I always watch to the end my friend! (Except the hour plus long ones)
The type of videos you create has inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel. In the beginning, I used to believe that I needed to focus on hyper-retention editing. However, after months of watching your channel, I've come to realize that when you want to connect with the hearts and minds of your audience, a calm approach is essential for people to truly understand the message you're conveying.
We could just watch a boring video that's boring. Just trying to thank you for efforts. I am always wanting see in a different way.
not sure what video ive watched of yours before but i know your videos are soothing to me
It's not boring, it's steady. Too much content these days is like an assault on the senses and its nice to have something more relaxed
Vid was boring, still finished it & learned from it.
Thank you Aperture ❤
Your videos put me to sleep in a soothing way :D
I've noticed over these past few years, rather than staring at my phone for hours at a time I always have music going from UA-cam with head phones on.
These videos are far from boring. I typically listen to Alux videos and some others while doing other tasks, but I save yours for when I have time to sit down and enjoy them. It's a treat to block out everything else for 15-20 minutes while I immerse myself in thought and reflection with your videos. They help me maintain my sanity.
Your videos aren’t boring at all. They are very insightful, and the subjects aren’t just rehashed content from other videos, though sources are cited within them. The videos you posted about language was I think the first one I saw. People don’t realize just what an achievement we’ve made as a species. For myself, words are especially important. I see much of the world through spoken word, The pace is helpful tbh. I have temporal lapse epilepsy and am hard of hearing to take in information from a video, I sometimes have to run a section back or 5 times when I’m listening. The pace and quietness of the background make it easier to turn the volume up without getting the the frick scared outta me because the material went from quiet to volume loud enough to wake the dead in the cemetery down the road I live on.
Again, your work is awesome. There will always be criticism but as a creator on here, you have your own methods in a way distinct from others. That’s ok.
I like nice long quiet videos. You get an opportunity to really absorb what you’re watching.
I actually really appreciate this
Your videos are not boring or dull to me at all. They can't be compared to the barrage of hyped up repetitive idiocy that is dominating UA-cam and everywhere else. Most of the channels I follow are a lot more meaningful, educational,and original. This catches my attention and I find your videos calm and de-stress me when I come home from my fast paced job. It allows me to collect myself and listen to something I'd rather be interested in. Many are too impatient and always rushed. I appreciate the slower pace and different perspectives on things. T.Y.
Ive never thaught of the videos as boring or even slightly less entertaining but calming
At some nights i just want some noise to play in the backround this is just perfect
Plot twist: your video is more interesting than 90% of my UA-cam feed, especially the video about "Everything we don't know". And my favorite.. "Death" :]
@10:56! That was epic! BUT what was even more EPIC. Was your playlist thumbnail below the video with the dude's eyes bugging out with all the "images" of the social media apps I'm the background! Made for some GREAT screenshots. (I really need to knock that shit off🤣. Got the habit from playing Ingress years ago. And it's great for crashing the FB app! But you obviously allready know that. Haha)
