15 dotzens now.

Right now there's only 11 of you.

I copy the url and replace the domain part with xcancel.com

If my client base is any indication it's already here. We are thus as a society, to use the vernacular, most likely cooked.

Apparently the general population has an understanding of written/spoken language at about the 6th grade level...

What if the recent push back into feudalism works too well and we get the "dark ages" all over again.... lol...

That's what the "most rewatched" graph on the scrubber is for.

Dude never would I ever have dreamed I'd yearn for the days of 2 minute videos with notepad being used to communicate but here we are.

Reading requires attention. YouTube videos you can put on in the background during work or other activities.

I feel like Watching Videos are more entertaining.

You won't find as many of them on a text-focused medium like here.

Search for these strings and let's talk.

• incase
• aswell
• literally
• (his|her|their|the) emails
• the ask
• the spend

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.

There used to be a bot that would link to some YouTube frontend whenever a link got posted, but it almost never worked and even when it did it got downvoted constantly

Yes. And peertube is still a work in progress.

But even among the proprietary video platforms, YouTube is the worst, lately.

YouTube used to be the only one with any kind of stream resilience, but that's long solved.

I prefer to stick to anything that doesn't now spend billions to make the experience worse, at least.

That was my first thought, but I think the idea is that a well thought and written article can be a better medium for certain materials than a video on where someone just narrates something and shows slightly unrelated royalty free videos.

Or find a repost.

Holy shit is GN boring. Without fail he'll make me fall asleep whilst he repeats his points over and over. And some of his "journalism" is so rough I just want to shake him and make him go back to school.

Repeating the same single points over and over does make your case and sure you might be right on some stuff using this technique but it doesn't make you right on other things.
