Depends on the sender, so a couple friends stuff is worth watching to the end but some of them send stuff that I will actively ignore or give it about 10 seconds to decide if I'm going to watch the whole thing. The difference is that the first groyp sends stuff that has payoff even if it might appear first because it is mocking something and the second group just sends whatever they liked a few seconds of but it isn't worth sticking out if the opening annoys me.
For videos in general it all comes down to topic and presentation. I will watch hours of 40k info dumps from one particular person because their presentation is engaging. There is a writing advice guy I watch because he gets to the point. I love Pitch Meetings because the humor works even when it is repetitive and the thumbnails are bait but it took someone I trusted to watch enough to get it.
So it varies widely, but when sent by someone it really depends on who sends it and what it is.
