I just love things the variety of things that fall outside the google-ads algos its so easy to silo our "content" from platforms like this. I browse marginalia [0] just to spice it up and see what else there is out there.

Youtube also has tons of long-form 1+ hours content. There's a recent machine learning video that's 25+ hours long and it's not hidden away in obscurity. It's prominently listed on the 1st page of search results for "deep learning tutorial" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+learning+t...
As another example, I got a friend exposed to sewing channels on Youtube. Some content creators create hour-long "sew alongs" which she watches every week now to learn new techniques. It fills in a gap left behind by Public Television since they don't air sewing shows anymore.
Lots of long-form videos in car repairs, woodworking, etc.
EDIT ADD: the 25-hour deep learning video example is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ikDlimN6A
... which was also copied to freeCodeCamp.org channel (the 12th recently uploaded video) :
I would be careful with statements like this. I believe that the Youtube search results are tuned by your personal viewing history, and of course just on a general basis the results are subject to change. I don't see the video you are talking about when I do that search, but then I don't know what you mean by 'on the 1st page' since it is an infinite scroll.
