I know I'm increasingly in the minority, but I can't stand learning most things from videos. If you must share information by making a video, please *please* also make it available to read.

Can't understand why video tutorials are so popular, very annoying.

@robertpi @darrenpmeyer Because we've let shitheads get away with making it so the majority of indexed text articles are SEO content farm, or now "AI", slop, and nobody producing new information wants their work buried under that shit. Video format by real presenter is serving as proof of authentic human work and caring about the subject matter.

@dalias @robertpi cool; none of that stops the information from also being available in text. Note how I didn’t say not to make videos, just to *also* provide the information in text form.
