> Now we need to watch hours of overproduced youtube videos, But we don't. Plenty of people just ignore all that stuff, and there remains an impossibly vast volume of old and new content to consume in other forms. I've probably watched a total of 3 hours of Youtube since it launched, and I don't feel even a little bit less informed for that. Would you really be worse off if you did something else with your time? Since you seem to prefer text, I'm sure there remain many stimulating blog posts (and books!) you haven't yet read. If people find that sharing their little hobby efforts by video is easier or makes for better inspiration, it's not coming at some cost to you. It's a different medium. Among both content creators and content consumers, some people prefer it, some don't.
