The kind of people, who in conversation cut you off before you make a point.

[PaisleyAmazing]

I'm only at the beginning of this video, but I believe that people should have watched all of the last video.

[MusicisWin]

Recreational outrage is one of the Internet's greatest pastimes lol. Go Rick!

[barwick]

This is my new favorite video... it sums up our entire culture in 4 minutes and 3 seconds.

[jforden]

The last video was actually an experiment on attention span. Thank you for the data.

[JeepAndBass]

The one thing that doesn’t fade with age, the ability to criticize things you don’t fully understand or care to understand.

[suzettetaylor]

PLEASE don't dumb down or shorten your videos for these people, Rick! You have so many of us who love and appreciate what you do and how you do it.

[KillSilenceLoudly]

I will admit, while there were parts of my opinion/comment from the last video that I would still stand by, I was preemptively putting thoughts to pen and did disengage before your conclusion was reached in the video. I apologise for my short attention span and for preemptively forming my own opinion. Love your work.

[Vahe.Caliskan]

Rick, I am a professor, and one of the most common issues with students is when they don't read the entire problem before answering a question on an exam. I always have to remind them before the exam "read the entire question, before solving the problem"

[salactro]

Rick, don’t ever dumb down your videos for these type of people, I’m watching and listening, keep it up

[mapleext]

Oh man Rick - God forbid you assume people have an attention span! Your videos are always well thought out, detailed and comprehensive. It’s frustrating that people pounce just for the sake of doing that, but you keep on keeping on cause I’ve learned a lot from you- you are the best!!

Sincerely,

A fan who watches the whole video!

[Plowguitarist]

I have a friend like this, that will always interrupt before I complete a sentence and never allows me to make my point. Cheers Rick.. some of us do watch the video in its entirety and enjoy every second of your wisdom you share with us. 🙏 Mad respect for Mr Beato 😎

[BlahdyBlah-zd]

As someone who actually watched to the end of the video, it was really well rounded, thought provoking, and convincing. Keep up the good work, Rick!

[FabrizioGibilaro]

Congratulations for the great patience demonstrated with your calm reply, Rick. This is one of most annoying side effects of modern digital communication. Too many people have become unable to listen, or read until the end. They react immediately to the first word or idea that triggers an emotion or a counter-idea. I see this problem at all levels: family conversations, replies to emails at work, public debates, online comments on social media, etc… Maybe it is too easy to interact and most people have an urge to say their own words, that there is no time to listen and understand properly. So sad. 😢

[UncontrolledJibe]

I'm making this comment first to disagree with things you won't say later.

[guitar_pk]

I always watch the whole thing, then share thoughts. From my own experience, I'm a better musician now, in my 50s. But wish I had the energy and spontaneity of my youth. But you're absolutely right on the money

[harrypothead]

I know this guy named Rick who started a YouTube channel quite late in life it's been a fairly successful thing for him

[EntropiaOrganizada]

Just today we were talking about a phenomenon that is being promoted by the culture of "shorts": The ability that is being lost to maintain attention for "prolonged" periods of time without seeking other stimuli, such as writing a comment.

And yes, I waited until the end of the video to send this

[MegaPiano]

It's a great video Rick. As a 68 year old composer/arranger/performer I have been an eye-witness to my own change in creativity over the years. My work today is so very different than my works in my 20s and 30s. You've put it all in perspective for me.

[Lia-A-Eastwood]

People have no patience anymore and are happy to jump in when they think they have to feel the need for being offended. – No need to do the extra 4:03 minutes, dear Rick. But thank you! It is highly appreciated. And yes, I watched the other video til the end.
