nothing makes me click off a YouTube video more than clearly padding their run time.
"Have you ever wondered about the dinglesploot on every flinkus? I mean. You see it everywhere, but what is it doing there? You may not realize but once you're aware you can't unsee it. I didn't think about this myself until a few weeks ago, but now? I can't help diving deeper into a mystery that keeps unraveling. See, I was in the flargus shop looking to buy a flargus, but my eyes wandered to the flinkus... and for the first time in my adult life I wondered... what is that little dinglesploot??"
Brother it is three minutes into the video you have established enough. No amount of fancy camera shots and scenic locations will supplant the fact that you likely think your video is "second monitor slop." If your story is not interesting enough to be a 30 minute video then find another story or make it a smaller part of another video.
