My point is that things that would previously have been 5 minute blog posts now are e.g. 90 minute video odysseys, and the primary cause is that's the way "creators get paid".
I think this is bad for human progress.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoYou had no point. A blog post and a video are 2 different things. Shitter still has many many 5 minute reads if you only want that. They exist, and in greater numbers than ever, right now, today, despite "how creators get paid". The fact that you only want a soylent pill doesn't mean that a sit-down meal is some waste of time.

- lysace 2y agoI feel like you are misrepresenting what I'm saying; perhaps on purpose, perhaps not. Either way, I don't want to continue this conversation. Good bye.
- RHSeeger 2y agoYou're saying (at least as anyone seems to be able to determine; I don't want to correct you on what you're saying) > Instead of blog posts, we have videos They're saying > In addition to blog posts, we have videos (we still have blog posts)
- binary132 2y agoFor what it’s worth I agree with the sentiment that inflated video fluff is very annoying and useless
- K0balt 2y agoWelcome to the attention economy, where we make people watch ads to doomscroll the latest drivel, hopefully diverting their attention to buying more senseless crap rather than improving their situation or the plight of humanity in general. Can you imagine the positive impact on the world if just a fraction of that screen time was devoted to just making the people near you smile?
- palmfacehn 2y agoCalling it an odyssey is generous. It feels like the info is deliberately buried beneath intros, the video creator begging for me to like, subscribe and of course, a sponsored placement. Not to mention the platform ads and sea of recommendations. This is the worst when I simply want to read the documentation, but Google attempts to serve me "tutorials". I have never derived value from programming tutorial videos.
