>People may criticize the YouTube generation, but it has helped in content creators who get a lot of information over in a very concise way (Kurzgesagt In a Nutshell, Smarter Every Day and Wendover Productions come to mind). Reading the same info (in a non-narrated way) would be much faster. Also it's often concise over exactitude or neutrality. I can't sit through these videos, boring or caricatural. At least the New Yorker is sold as an enjoyable distraction, and I find great pleasure in reading nice writing.
