Fungah@lemmy.world 8 months agoWho the fuck would rather repeatedly pause and in pause a fucking video, skim past bullshit, skip ads, or hell even USE YouTube over a block of text somewhere that c9ntains the info you were looking for.
People watch this dog.shit. is it because its.the only.place you can find info anymore? Or do people actually LIKE this format?

seriously. “I want to learn about resistors!” doesn’t send me to a nice pretty static graphic I can reference, or a text explanation of the meaning, its some shit head talking for 20 minutes with an seo title and like 2/10 of the pieces of information I needed in a totally unsearchable format.
and that last bit might be the important part; its not manually user searchable. this matters, and I think its what the companies want, why they love video.
