I hear rumors that there are some really good audio books on YouTube!

As to your comment, I do agree that visual might be better but what if that is completely unavailable? Then what are some other options?
When paper is your only option, adding auditory is definitely a good second best. We didn’t wait for someone else to do it for us. It needed to be done, so it was done.
As for ad blockers, overall I don’t spend much time on YouTube.
But yes, it seems that sitting down with a good book is going to become the only form of entertainment we'll be left with!
