Kelsey Atherton @atherton.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Wow, that video seems like it has compelling information. Unfortunately, watching it would take at least ten times as long as reading an article covering the same material, so I won't be clicking play. 231063251 0
sugar and violence @ambersweet.bsky.social · 13/02/2024The chances are nearly 100% that I already have a TV show, movie, comic, or music playing somewhere, and I can split my attention to read something (especially if I'm "watching" something I've seen just for background noise), but I don't want to keep turning my stuff off for a random video. 000 0

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Video is also way harder to check sources on (this is a feature not a bug for many video creators) 2411 0
AverageMann @averagemann.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Depends, if it is an Oversimplified video, i dont care how many parts the man does to treat a theme that can be read in an hour, like the Punic Wars or if its a video of my interested theme i will watch it anyway 010 0
Cubes Fan @cubesfan.bsky.social · 12/02/2024This, all day. I have a simple question that I could skim an article to find the answer to, or I could watch a video for as long as it takes to possibly find out if they mention the thing I'm questioning. Ugh. 0130 0
WitchWarriorWildWoman @witchwwwoman.bsky.social · 12/02/2024This. Plus, I can skim that article if I'm looking for something faster than << >>, dammit, <<, DAMMIT >>ing through a video. 040 0
Thanks, I Hate It @mikevago.bsky.social · 13/02/2024The Onion has had funnier headlines, but they've never done one truer than "Christ, Article A Video." 050 0
Tod Q. Mouse @todqmouse.bsky.social · 13/02/2024If it's something I really want to know about, I'll see if the video has a transcript I can read really quick. 040 0
Brie 🏳️🌈 @briebearkc.bsky.social · 12/02/2024But you'll miss out on the 2 minutes of commercials before the 1 minute-long video plays. 040 0
Kip Williams sort of @kipwilliams.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Permit me to reply in the form of a seven-minute interpretive dance accompanied by myself on a harmonica. With only two ads! 080 0
David Martino @dfmartino.bsky.social · 13/02/2024Do I ever hate when the auto play kicks in. Just let me read the article, thanks. 010 0
Dvandom @dvandom.bsky.social · 13/02/2024"This meeting could have been an email" = "This video could have been a paragraph with one or two still images." (Videos are easier to capture with enshittification, of course.) 060 0

The Booooobarienne @thebarbarienne.bsky.social · 13/02/2024Notable exception: Cooking videos that demonstrate a technique, because sometimes you really need to see the movement. But that video should be embedded in a written article/recipe. 130 0
Bryan @bryaninthegale.bsky.social · 13/02/2024Have you seen Boss Keys? Part of the reason they stick with me are that the visuals of the games that GMTK pulls from helps ground the complex charts he builds about the structure of the games. Though there's also the nostalgia element since the series covers popular games. 000 0
rammjet @bisnaga.com · 13/02/2024A written article, I can quickly skip around to sections that interest me. With audio or video, I never know what to skip or where to skip to. 030 0
