Or, in other words: There was some text to read and some pictures to look at. For topics in the range of "supersonic trebuchets", I'm absolutely okay with quickly reading some lines of text; dynamically deciding how quickly/thoroughly I read, what paragraphs to skip, etc. What I'll definitely NOT do: Watch a video clip about it.

- pino83 29d agoMaybe that's even the same guy?! But I don't know... A thing that I completely don't care about: Supporting some YouTube guys. YouTube "creators", even if they are not basically "influencers" (a.k.a. advertizing), even in the best case, a YouTube guy is for me the same as someone at RTL, DMAX, Fox, or any other random TV station. It might even be that I watch their show every now and then... But I'm not constantly thinking about how I can support these guys. And IF they actually disappear tomorrow, there will be other ones coming up. There is DEFINITELY no scarcity in YouTube guys... PS: The narration inside the community is fundamentally more romantic. But guess what, I don't care. ;) PPS: With all my browser addons (incl. "Sponsor Block" - every YouTube consumer should have it!!!), I'd not be so much of a support anyways. PPPS: The first thing when someone would ask me to consume a YouTube clip would be to ask Claude or whatever service to generate a summary/transcript for me. I reject to constantly burn multiple minutes in order to consume random/funny/pointless content that could be a matter of 10 seconds if provided as text together with four of five images.
