Is the "visual love letter" style losing its impact because of the long hiatuses?

Anyone else noticed how kaptainkristian’s gaps between uploads seem to get longer every year? I’m genuinely curious—does the long wait actually make the videos feel more "special" to you, or are we just romanticizing the inconsistency at this point? I was rewatching his 'Adult Swim - The History of a Television Network' essay recently, and it’s still an absolute masterpiece, but in an era where creators like Nerdwriter or even newer essayists are dropping high-quality stuff more frequently, is Kristian still the gold standard for you? Or has the "visual love letter" format been perfected by someone else while he’s been away? What do you guys think—is the wait part of the "mythos" of his channel, or is he losing relevance by being so quiet?
