Whereas if a show or movie don't interest me enough to actually watch them, the last thing I'm going to do is watch a four hour YouTube video talking about them. But I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.

I'm not.Sorry if that disappoints you.
I'm old fashioned too. I also buy books about this stuff!
About shows and movies you don't like?
I have watched videos about epic train wrecks that I generally don't have interest in.
Sometimes it can be just as interesting to learn about what went wrong and why that could've happened as it is to learn about how things went right.
I assume they aren't four hours long though, are they?
No. I don't have that kind of patience. I'm more of a "shit or get off the pot" kind of guy.
The length really isn't that big of a deal, as they're not something that demands your full attention at all times. They're like a podcast which you can put on while you're working or playing a game.
Easy there, this is waltzing on the line between post and poster.
The length is a big deal if you work, have kids, and obligations. I don't do the multitasking thing.
Based on the Internet in the past 24 hours, yes, you probably are.
I can't do it either (I had to stop and restart Joker 4-5 times to get through it).
There aren't many movies that can command my attention for a sustained period of time. Going to the theatre would be torture for me.

I can absolutely relate to that. I rely on YouTube keeping track of where the video was stopped so I can continue where I left off.
I guess I'm a dying breed of fan.
One who is willing to go through the entire series before judging it in it's entirety.
But I do that with nearly all shows I watch.
It's very rare that I judge things w/o seeing the entire show/movie/series/etc.

So, you don't ever give up on shows? If you start it, you watch it all?
Not my way but restrictions of time means that a series has two episodes before I drop it.

Films are a case by case.
In this era of reaction videos I'm inclined to think your way is unique.
But think of the internet karma he could farm and exploit!
99.9% of the time, I would do that.
Otherwise, I don't start the show at all.
I usually know enough about what I go into watch, before I decide to give it a try.
I always do alot of background research into the material & universe before I even dip my toes into it.
In all of the Star Trek shows that I've ever intentionally went in to watch, there has been only 1 episode that I skipped / dropped part way.
That was the DS9 ep where Quark dressed up like a women, that just aggravated me for some reason and I couldn't finish that ep.
I actually had to watch the SF Debris ep on that specific episode & read up to figure out how dumb it was.
Other than that, I've generally watched every single Trek show I've intentionally sat down to view in it's entirety.
Entirety? Ehhhh....no.
