Unless is a Tom Scott video. Those are almost always worth the investment.


some people just don't watch youtube.

someone that's a quarter-of-the-way proficient at speed reading can read a short article like this in seconds -- without the time investment or the need to buffer video data to read the transcript.

every media has a place, generally speaking the trivia and background included in a YT video is interesting -- but in the end it's Jeopardy answers and brain-candy for me 90% of the time.


I never watch videos. I don't like it, and overall I consider that a waste of time that could be better spent reading.
