Not only that, as a presenter of long experience I am wary of long videos. My experience is that anyone who knows their subject can condense it into a matter of sentences or a paragraph. The gist should appear within the first 5 minutes. The longer the presentation, with no advertised outline, the more it becomes a wandering hobby horse.
I am also suspicious on the grounds that one can READ material about 3 to 5 times faster than one can listen to it. All this focus on videos reveals to me a sad illiteracy of our society and the inability to be cogent.
I especially disdain the "Dude, check out this video" attitude, with no information as to who, what, when, how, or where---as though my time was as worthless as your time.
Excellent points. I usually browse here while watching something else or hanging out with family. I’d much prefer written format over video.
