  He’s presenting information to his audience, where his audience is.

    Total shit argument. You can publish text on youtube too.

      And how many people will actually see it? when he releases a video, i get it on my feed. but i have never seen a text post from any of the creators i’ve subscribed to.

      • mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I see it all the time. Maybe your creators don’t care about the feature? Also, you can simply use the description of the video. Of course, this means less ad watch time so obviously not happening.

  Imagine the audacity of a video creator to publish a video on a video platform, what has society come to smh

  • mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    So there’s some magical limitation which only lets him make videos? He’s doomed to solely create videos and if he as much as thinks about writing a blog post, he gets struck by lightning or something? What an interesting phenomenon.

  because it’s a split from his normal monthly update video where he is supposed to be interacting with his channel members.

  He’s already fighting the fight, no reason to give him more work. :P

    no reason to give him more work

    Unpopular opinion but setting up a whole recording studio and cutting a video without fucking up a bunch is a lot more fucking work than just writing a damn text document.

    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      He’s a YouTuber he already has the recording studio setup he’s just using the systems he already has in place

• RepleteLocum@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Who‘s gonna actually read it tho? Like 90% of the people who watched that video would never have read a whole text. Not to speak of the issue of getting the text out to people.

• rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  It’s getting him views.

  Also, I would not have read his text. The slightly strung out look is working, it got you to comment :)

  Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something. I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.

    That’s just wrong.

    I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.

    Why post it to youtube in that case? If you’re watching a video where the only the audio is relevant, why the fuck is it a video?

    source

    • CileTheSane@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Why post it to youtube in that case?

      “Why isn’t this text?”

      YouTube has more accessibility and reach.

      “Then why isn’t it an audio file?!?!?!”

      Fucking what? You seem to just be upset that this exists in a way people will access.

        Going for personal attacks when you cannot think of a response? Peak intellect.

      Reach and convenience. Why do you think podcasts exist on YouTube when they could’ve as well been audio-only?

      Besides, some people like to see the speaker, because it gives visual clues about what’s being said. Not everybody absorbs info efficiently through reading texts or just listening. Sometimes you need more than one way of recieving information.

  Because people don’t read longform text anymore.

  source

  • mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The brilliant part about writing text is that you don’t have to read all of it. You can have sections where people can find the information they actually are interested in. The only problem is less ad money.

    source

    • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I agree, but the issue is not the text. The issue is the people not reading it anymore.

        -Written in text, in a long thread full of text

  There are many differences, some advantages and some disavantages. If you want to read, you can read the transcript that YT generates or you can probably find the text posted in some of his blogs, I bet.

  source

  • mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Automatic transcripts are not comparable to intentionally written text. Are you actually serious?

    source

    • descartador@lemmy.eco.br ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      why not?

      source

      • mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I don’t believe that you’ve read a book in your entire life if you consider automatic transcriptions to be comparable to actual written text.
