DIALUP DARLING (TOP 0.04% COMPUTER)This YouTube video could have been a blog post or paper and oh what do you know it was one and it came out a week ago and you’re just now finding out about it? Interesting.
Being an avid articles reader really enables the hipster tendencies
“Different people learn in different ways” I’m sorry you’re not learning anything from a video on YouTube dot com
SnoopJ@deersyrup anti-learning,, on the other hand
@deersyrup of course I say this after discovering how helpful videos reviewing riichi mahjong gameplay can be to my understanding of hand shape and development
BUT ALSO
I have seen so SO many videos of the sort you're referring to where information is just absolutely shredded in the process of turning the original source into Content™
@SnoopJ that’s more the actual crux of my critique tbh, my issue isn’t so much with video so much as YouTube the platform treating information as equivalent irrespective of the source, amplified and magnified by rewarding uploaders for Content Creation
@deersyrup information-shaped videos
that’s not to say that e.g. blogs can’t be written For Content (I mean just look at what Wordpress is doing with LMs, lol), but at least in that situation you can look at the topology of a text and say “oh this is a listicle” or “I skimmed this and it isn’t useful” within about 3 seconds or less
hyratel@deersyrup @SnoopJ I get hopping mad every time I click a video and it's someone mouth breathing into the microphone at 10 WPM for 3 minutes over something that would have taken 14.5 seconds to read on my own
@deersyrup @SnoopJ (not to be crossed up with the 2 hour long workshop videos that show Process. those can't really be blogified)
