    Says the text based article😅… Load of shit. There’s little I despise more than someone making a video of something that could have been two lines of text or hell, 20 lines of text. Video can be such an expressive medium, stop shitting on the format by using inappropriatly. If anything the pendulum has already swung way too far towards video and hopefully things will rationalize soon. When I have to watch some dumb video, I put captions on and usually just read the captions. Wish there was a tool for YouTube that just extracted whole caption transcripts so I didn’t even need to play the videos.

      If you click “see more” in the description, there is a transcription! It’s still kinda pain im the ass, but allows getting through it faster…it’s not perfect tho.

      Also. Captions and 2x speed ftw.
