This "article" is basically a transcript of a youtuber's explanation. At least they are quoted and not just copied.

  yeah, but some people don't want to, or can't watch a video, and prefer reading.

    I think their point is why not have an actual source?

      The guy who made the video is (was?) a pilot, so I think he's as good a primary source as we would often deem acceptable for something like this.

    Yeah, I'd rather read a 2 minute article than have someone stretch the explanation to 10 minutes for ad revenue or the algorithm or whatever the current YouTube enshitrification meta is.

  I prefer reading articles over watching videos. Videos take forever to get to the point.

    This is such a common annoyance on the modern internet. I've recently been playing Minecraft with my kids, with a few mods, and I've been irritated to discover that - unlike when I'd mess around with mods a decade ago - lots of the "documentation" for mods now exists only in video form. Anyway, I built / slopped out this little wrapper for yt-dlp that I call tuber[1], and it has a feature for grabbing a video's subtitles and summarizing them with Claude, if you've got the CLI. I've found it really handy for those annoying cases where some video seems to promise info I want but I don't want to sit through ten minutes of bullshit.

      you could also use openai whisper for transcription. takes longer but beats bad subtitles

    > Videos take forever to get to the point. I feel the same with this article.
