Lemmy plugin idea: when someone posts a YouTube link, the server copies the video to peertube instead.

Or maybe we could build that into the client to save server resources.

    While that is an idea that's cool for the fediverse as a whole, it COMPLETELY misses the point of this post. We want to READ the information, not listen to someone trickle feed it to us, peppered with adverts and asides.

    YouTube is not the problem here. Some people don't want to listen to some idiot talking. Where is the text, god damn it. I sometimes use AI to turn a video into text because I hate watching videos for information so much.

    I hate when the information I'm trying to get is trapped in a video. It's not often that I can't find text alternatives, but it happens on occasion. Being trapped watching a video whose purpose is only partly to deliver information (the other part to game the algo and appease sponsors), when I could have found the info I needed in 30 seconds if it was text -- that's my idea of torture.

    One of the very few legitimately game-changing aspects of AI in my life is video summaries.
