Sounds interesting.

But, I will not watch a 24 minute video to hear the explanation.
Not directed at you or anyone else. Just my personal opinion.
I hate the emphasis on video presentations.

Yeah, I’m an old fart that reads about 500-600 wpm. Even much faster if I’m looking for the main point.

I simply don’t have time to listen to rambling presentations on every subject that might interest me.

However, I’m quite certain my rant isn’t going to change anything. But, it felt good to vent that frustration.

Thanks for reading!

Okay. I generally don’t watch presentations unless I like the author already. To get a condensed version read post 4.

I agree with you. I almost never watch a video, unless the subject *needs* motion. I get the info much faster from text (with still images if appropriate), especially since people tend to ramble more when speaking — unless they’re reading from a script. In that case, just publish the script, at least as an alternative.

I wonder if this emphasis on video is (at least partly) due to our worsening education system. Not enough people can read well, much less write well.

I'm 86 and read very rapidly and I have a high recall %/rate.
