Did we really need a YouTube video to explain why one shouldn't use meta products?
I really don't get this trend of turning everything into a video. Is it supposed to be easier to consume?
I would much rather read an article and get the information I want at the pace I want.
My workplace has taught me that the majority of adults cannot read above a fifth grade level.
Yep. If it's a video it gets a hard pass from me. They can get their 'views' from someone else.
Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.
videos are easier to consume while doing something else. reading may be faster, but you can't drive to work, do the dishes, workout, etc. while reading. if you're not into multitasking then reading is the clearly better option, but I think most young people have grown up so surrounded by barrages of inormation from different sources all at once that multitasking comes extremely naturally to them
I have to say I also watch videos in background while doing other stuff, but that doesn't make it a better medium to convey information, just more practical when the information is not important enough to be the main focus of someone's attention, and that's pretty subjective.
But I do get the point, I just wish it was different.
glad to know that I'm not alone who prefers to read articles over watching videos
Videos get more money per impression
