Against Video
So I’ve been feeling this for a while, but it’s been increasing over time. I like video online less and less. It started with the quality gripes I have against YouTube, and aided by my decreasing attention span. The annoyance at unneeded audio, and combined with the problems of listening in an office. The real problem though - I can read information far faster than I can listen to it spoken. A ton of video is just talking heads, which is fine for the evening news when they want to show a quick clip, but terrible for digestion. Just let me read it all in 1 min versus watching it for 20.
