Travel researcher laments how video replaced text
Original: I just don’t get how this new world based entirely on video works. It takes AGES longer to derive some info from a video
Australian tech writer Tim Richards has criticised the shift from text to video for sharing information, arguing that extracting facts from a video or audio clip takes far longer than skimming written text. He singled out travel research as an example, saying anyone relying on YouTubers' destination videos for practical information must be a 'glutton for punishment'.
Why now: Ongoing frustration with content shifting from quick, scannable text to time-consuming video formats
