I disagree with you so you should stop posting your opinions altogether.

I literally i watch a YouTube videos, as they are just a waste of time. For a given video on a given topic, the same amount of information can be obtained by a decently written blog or article that can be read in a 1/10 of the time it takes to watch q video filled by nonsense blabbering and sponsored segments for revenues. In some extreme cases, if the topic seems really, really , REALLay interesting, I may ask an LLM to summarize the video for me. People should stop linking YouTube videos altogether.

There’s a “block” button somewhere in Lemmy’s interface, under my profile. Just use it and go back swallowing crappy YT videos.

Watch veritasium videos, they are well researched and informative. I have sponsor block and ad block so I don’t get annoyed

I prefer to read books. Thanks.

But with those two things I have a good time

You also need to buy books, or borrow them from someone else who did. YouTube videos are free usually.
Engywuck@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
There’s nothing free in this world. You’re paying with your attention and at least metadata, independently on how many blockers you may use.

I feel the same way. I can read really fast and get to the juice of an article faster than it takes for the YouTube video to do through the introduction, sponsors, etc.
