To the contrary, the YouTube algorithm strongly discourages it. Longer videos are much less likely to appear in the suggested feed. The degree to which varies, but YouTubers are feeling very heavily forced towards < 5 minute content.

I really think that depends.

I have almost only videos 10+ minutes on my homepage and in my recommendations because I almost only watch longer videos.

I haven’t had that experience at all. Though, I rarely use “the algorithm”.

I basically only watch people I’m subscribed to (which I rarely find via YouTube). Those videos are getting increasingly longer because the payouts are higher.

Isn't there a threshold (10 minutes?) where you get twice as many ads and thus people try to make their videos at least that long?
