This sucks so much ! What a waste of time and resources, hiding knowledge in video is the among most inconvenient and inefficient way of making it useful: no indexing, ni skimming, no copy pasting, it's slow, cannot be searched, cannot be put in a translator, cannot be mirrord, uses much more resources. Then it's hosted on youtube which is the worst offender privacy wise and does not work without allowing script from a few different domains. Once again mozilla fails to deliver according to their supposed values which are mostly marketing. Why do I have to relinquish my privacy to endure an inconvenient and inefficient way to learn when it could have been written in the very same page with text which will survive time and can be easily mirrored. Why put such an unecessary wall between knowledge and audience ?

No one owes you anything. If someone chooses to make something it's entirely up to them how and where they do it. If your personal choices mean you can't benefit from it then that's unfortunate but it definitely isn't grounds for the sort of tirade you've posted here. Everything in this video is available elsewhere.

This is pretty much all information Jen has already written in articles. If you don't like videos, don't watch them, maybe even downvote their submission to HN.

When you think about it, all those talks at the conference is such a waste of time and resources: No indexing, no skimming,no copy pasting, it's slow, cannot be searched. On the serious note: this is not some unique knowledge that is available in those videos. Much of this stuff was there for years, everywhere. Those who enjoy listening to Jen talking will watch the videos. Others do not have to.
