    I’d rather read twenty minutes than watch a 5 minute YouTube video.

    Part of the reason why I have no patience for video as nonfiction is because I read a lot faster than videos (or audio) can communicate information. So for me, I’d rather read a 5 minute document than a 20 minute video, even if one is literally a transcription of the other.

    At least with audio I can take that in while doing something else.
