Going on a bit of a tangent here, but I would really prefer if less people chose video as the medium to explain things. For me at least it's markedly easier, quicker, and convenient to read things.

    You're being snarky but the rise of video for basic info transmission really bugs me. You even get these clowns making videos of them typing into notepad! Like ffs get a gd blogger account

I agree that a concise and well-written statement will typically be more efficient than a video of similar quality. But something about speaking to a camera seems to make it easier for people to express their thoughts in a digestible way. I tend to find that, for many topics, some random 5-10 minute video of a person talking to the camera will tend to be more informative than some random 5-10 paragraph article.
