I think I understand what you mean but would benefit from an explanation of that point

Search results show listicle articles, low value blog spam, etc. Youtube videos are unnecessarily long. Etc, etc.

I really hate the long videos. Facebook tells you that you'll get better results if you make them long (seriously?). So people make these unnaturally long videos with lots of vapid footage, generating needless entropy.

There's a magic point on YouTube at 10 minutes that lets creators insert ads in the middle of their videos, so they all stretch out the content for that purpose. It's very obnoxious.
