    Blogs are still a thing and are very cheap to host. Not everything has to be in video form.

      People would rather watch a few minute video than read a 15 paragraph article that talks about the same thing.

        Yeah. Reading is becoming a lost art. That’s what’s fueling general stupidity and short attention span

          Funnily enough, I can’t be bothered looking at a video becouse I can’t glance through it. It takes too long listening to “please like and subscribe thnxxxxxx…” With text, I can quickly scan through, and easily find what I’m looking for.

        Maybe so. But at the same time there are a lot of 10 mins videos with 1 paragraph worth of useful information in them… so I guess the argument cuts both ways.

        Not always. In fact this is not often true at all for me. Both videos and essays can be too long and rambling. I would rather skim an essay than a video.
