Am I the only one annoyed by the increasing dominance of video vs. text communication?

I understand a lot of people don’t like to read, but I see no reason a transcript can’t be posted, or at least linked, for those of us who don’t have 19 minutes to spend watching a video.

It’s not just you...I’m bored to tears listening to someone jabber on endlessly for information I could take in more quickly and completely by reading.

Then there’s those of us on dialup that not only don’t have the 19 minutes for the jabber, but not the time to download the video much less IF WE CAN even download it.

Unfortunately dialup is so slow it is video/audio unfriendly.

Much prefer text.

We’d have to move back to the city, or pay excessive fees to have ability for video where we are.

Almost every time I am directed to a video, I ignore it and move on. That is a method of communication for entertainment. If you want to convey information, it should be in writing.
