I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don't want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn't show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?
@bstix @Provider Facebook murdered the written word by lying to advertisers about engagement with video content. Straight up lying through their teeth.
And now I'm on the point of dropping a number of youtube channels I've subscribed to for YEARS because the algorithm is strong-arming them into pumping out "shorts" and my feed is drowning in 20sec auto-repeating portrait-mode videos. NO!
I want short informational text and loooonnnng droning background video, thanks!
