Maybe so. But at the same time there are a lot of 10 mins videos with 1 paragraph worth of useful information in them… so I guess the argument cuts both ways.
Not always. In fact this is not often true at all for me. Both videos and essays can be too long and rambling. I would rather skim an essay than a video.
Funnily enough, I can’t be bothered looking at a video becouse I can’t glance through it. It takes too long listening to “please like and subscribe thnxxxxxx…” With text, I can quickly scan through, and easily find what I’m looking for.
I’m the exact same way man lifetime of adhd I’m not watching some video of a guy working on my model of car where 40% of the video is filler and visual glitz when I can gladly read forums and expert guidelines that are everywhere and I read fast. Skimming through video to learn without wanting to throw a brick at the creator is weirdly a pain for me often but there are random exceptions like the random dads posting youtube videos with not many views but they explain how to do the service menu and diagnostics on a specific model of may-tag or whirlpool or whatever washers they’re mvps. Especially when the actual brands making them work tirelessly to make that information hard to get and obnoxiously complicated if you even find documentation online. No I will not call a repairman to charge me fuck-you fees lol
Are you saying you read the 3 pages of rambling nonsense about how this cookie recipe reminds you of time spent at Grandma’s Lake House as a child before actually getting to a shit recipe pulled directly from Betty Crocker, only it’s missing key ingredients?
/S
I think the bigger problem is endless Facebook/YouTube short videos. We’ve gone into Fahrenheit 451 territory.
People would rather watch a few minute video than read a 15 paragraph article that talks about the same thing.

It’s difficult to demonstrate some things in text, that’s why I prefer videos.
Yes, I think that’s the implied point. Some things. Not everything.
Yeah. Reading is becoming a lost art. That’s what’s fueling general stupidity and short attention span
