Anyone else tired of people plugging their YT when an article would be better?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Normally yes, but MapMen are British gems - up there with Curious Droid, and the Red T-shirt guy

Not in this case, no

If it's YouTube, I just ignore the link.

I'm not spending 15 minutes getting information that would fit in a 90 second read at most.

Very much so. It's just so much more convenient with an article. You can quickly browse through it or search for keywords. If you're not demonstrating something än article is usually better than video imho

Yeah. Had this been an article I would've read / skimmed it. A video? Fuck that.
