Why does everything have to be a YouTube video

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Because everything else is most likely written by ChatGPT

The answer is that it doesn't have to be but it's simpler that way.

A transcript has to be written for a YouTube video essay, and there's not really a major reason you couldn't turn your transcript and footage into an article with a series of embedded gifs or graphics. It's just much simpler for creators to dedicate their time to one medium and not worry about losses in translation or similar issues.

Also, monetization

What’s the alternative? Honestly, I want to use something other than YT but I don’t know of any with enough content.

An article? I can absorb information much faster in text form, and I can more easily go back if I missed something

For real. I used to hate articles. Now, I hate YouTube videos.

For so many YouTube videos, I just end up expanding the video description, and that gives me all the information contained in what would otherwise be 15 minutes of my time.

I'm at a point where I wish Firefox had the option to automatically load sites in reader mode, when available

Pretty sure the criticisms Was it being any Video as opposed to a writeup.

PeerTube? Videos don't need to be centralized 🤷🏻‍♂️
