I also don’t want a video because I can READ a helluva lot faster than it takes to watch a video.
I can also reference back to WRITTEN information much faster. Everything about shifting from written medium to video is about commodifying content, rather than a better exchange of information. And it sucks.
But I also know a decent amount about the failure of literacy education in the US in the past 20+ years, so I’m not surprised that many people in the younger generations prefer video. For too many of them, reading is a chore.
Hell, I know plenty of people in my own generation who will tell you they haven’t read a novel since high school like it’s a point of pride.
