There's a generational gap which I'm starting to experience more and more, where nearly everything I talk to my kids about — be it nuclear fusion, be it war in Ukraine, be it GPUs — they source with YouTube videos.
But I simply cannot ingest these. Watching a 1½ hours sequential display of maybe even valid statements but which you can't easily scan for useful information feels like watching TV in 1990's, especially that YT is frequently interrupted by ads. And specifically for that reasons I haven't had a TV at home since 2000's.
Videos are kind of OK fo a lecture, where the lecturer sequentially guides you through an unfamiliar topic. But a rather lengthy video to present a single point, that would otherwise fit on half of a printed page, which you can easily scan and locate relevant paragraphs as a matter of seconds?
Feels very much like a downgrade, sorry...
