I've gone on about that for a decade. Especially hate it when it replaces something like written instructions. No, I don't want to just watch a YouTube video. How does that help me when I'm under a car or have a computer half apart and just want to make sure I'm taking the right bolts out or plugging in the right wires? Printed instructions I could have right there and look at a diagram or read. Video I need a device that's large enough to see, with fine enough control to be able to move around to a specific point, and it's in a situation where it's more likely to get broken. No thanks.
I've also told people just as long when they try to tell me about Fox News, CNN, whatever screaming agitation propaganda outlet or not...I read the news not watch it.
Web2.0's obsession with video content is a slide towards the lowest common denominator pandering to dimwits.
Bring back text articles, and transcript videos. I cpuld read the transcript of one of those waffling shitposts with 5% of the time investment.

There's some great AI that can transcribe the video for you.
I might have to try it. I just don't think about going to look for AI things to help me
I am using speak.ai, but there are a lot out there. I'm sure there's a free one, but I haven't found it yet.
