Lately I've been realizing that as much as I value YouTube, much of the content is distorted by various incentives favoring length and frequency and a tech culture which overfocuses on elaborating steps as an equivalent to an explanation. This contributes to more duplicate content (often even within the same channel) and less in terms of refined conceptualization. I find myself often wishing I had outlines, summaries, and hyperlinks to greater details.
Of course, I can use AI tools to get approximations of such things, and it'll probably get better, which means we will now be using this increased bandwidth or progression to produce more video to be pushed out through the pipes and distilled by an AI tool into shorter video or something like hypertext.
Progress!
