I don’t like these generational generalizations.

Not an xer but I feel the same. I’d rather read twenty minutes than watch a 5 minute YouTube video.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a video, YouTube or otherwise, that conveys information faster than an article. It’s usually 10 minutes of video to convey what would take 3 minutes to read while providing greater detail.

it isnt about efficient information exchange
