Yes, somewhat a different topic, but so much information now exists in video form versus written due to the ease of video recording.

So many videos on YT that could be 2 lines of text are 5-10 min videos of someone talking about something irrelevant until we find the part where the problem is discussed.

Of course, that heuristic is going to stop working in about 5 years, based on current photo generation quality. (Just have ChatGPT 10 auto gen the script and stage blocking directions for Stable Diffusion, AV edition or whatever).


This entire comment is really amusing to me. "Some of my hipper millennial friends caught on to this five years ago" has me chuckling.
