Sargon the Great: How the Akkadians Built the World’s First Empire! | Ep 6

The fawning backup commentary does you no favours. Too many small interruptions make this unlistenable to me. Also, I don't generally investigate the credentials of folks who make KZbin videos, so it's not an absolute dealbreaker, but having a second person on whose sole role in the first 4 minutes is to make single-syllable interjections of appreciation for the primary speaker's information doesn't serve to reinforce my perception of the primary speaker's intelligence. Rather it makes the primary speaker seem as if they are so vain they can't go 3 seconds without someone making some sort of noise reminding them that their wisdom is appreciated and inviting them to go on. Now, I'm not saying the primary speaker IS actually that vain and insecure, but the whole format creates an image that makes it impossible for me not to be distracted by those thoughts. I mean, how useful is it to have someone say, "Yeah. Uh huh. Wow"? It's not helping your audience so the natural speculation is that if it's not there for us, it's there for you and wonder why you need this second person's constant, monosyllabic praise. I won't be listening to any more of your works, but it's not because I think I know more about Sargon than you. On the contrary I know relatively little and would be happy to learn more -- that's why I gave this video a shot. You should know that the annoying format is costing you listeners.

I understand this completely. This is actually AI these aren’t 2 people I upload these because it will act as a centralised place to get this information in case people had the same idea as me. In future I will try and prompt it to stop interrupting each other. Thanks for the feedback :)
