All very good point. I can't stand watching videos for information. I find them slow, and they miss out on the lot of detail. In addition, the person narrating often comes up with personal comments or say something of the sake of personality or charisma or something. Irritates the hell out of me.

I always search for transcripts if possible or a written article on the same topic.

I don't text to people, don't use what's app. When i do write emails, they are detailed and newsy. Same with those who take the time to write back.

I guess I'm old...
