I kid; all this video is going to vanish one day, and the text will remain.
And for most things, text is a highly superior format. Sometimes you need a few images or a video clip to supplement it, but I like to ingest information while my ears are otherwise occupied. I keep my phone and computer muted most of the time. I often watch videos with closed captioning enabled on 2x just to scrub through and find the 10 seconds of actual information in the 15 minute video.

Really sucks for more technical things, and also when you’re in a situation that doesn’t allow for audio (such as those that are deaf, or when viewing articles at work).
Trying to follow a video tutorial for programming when you could have the code in a syntax highlighted code block that is copyable…

I don’t like change. Videos have a higher priority to pad for ads. Text is…not as subject to that since I can search and scroll faster than jog through the timeline

Isn’t there just a video we could watch?
Isn’t there just an article I can read faster than the video takes…?
