That's 18 minutes I don't need to spend learning a minutes worth. (He starts out complaining about the lost time he's invested...)
This is true of the overwhelming majority of YouTube videos I see submitted here. The information density is just abysmal compared to a page of text.
And that is why I don't click on or watch YouTube videos from here. Either I've seen the video already (as is the case with a lot of gamers nexxus vids), or I am not willing to give the amount of time it takes to watch the video when I could read a distilled version of it in a minute or so. I don't care about your greeting (hey, this is [channel] here, back with another video. Today we'll be talking about [insert topic], but first ...[mindless garbage]).
I know that newer gems love video format and want it for all the things but I do not.
Harder to monetize a page of text
