This. At bare minimum, a better-informed population that would be increasingly resistant to gov’t and corporate propaganda.
And in a sense, that kind of came to pass. Nobody believes _anything_ the government says anymore, and skepticism is at all-time highs. It’s just… everything.
I also bet very heavily against the widespread popularity of video on the net, not due to any technical limitations, but simply because reading is so much faster.

- AlexAndScripts 5y agoI don't understand the use of video to teach many things. Particularly when it's not just a "Building this together" tutorial, it's a "teaching core concepts" video. You can't go back and forth on a video without quickly skipping through it, you really have to watch the whole thing. And listening to human speech is much slower than reading. I understand it for some things (Gaming, DIY, etc) but not teaching thinking subjects.
