I’m going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn’t the problem, it’s videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.
Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I’m somewhere I can watch a video).
Strong agree. Looking for help for a specific step in a process sucks balls. Nothing is searchable anymore, you have to skip through the video in the hopes of seeing the person do two clicks you’re missing and that’s it. Even worse are the slideshow videos.
i was like you for years. YEARS!
newpipe (or some other front end) saved me from missing absolutely everything

It’s a video because it’s a TED Talk (not a TED Essay). However, they do provide transcripts: https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like/transcript
