Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

@bstix I don’t think it’s because writing things is hard but people have become increasingly passive. Why sit down and read for an hour when you can just have someone explain it to you in only 15 minutes
Personally I prefer to go at my own pace when I have to learn something. Videos just aren’t good for that.
@SebinNyshkim @bstix I can’t think of a single time ever that a video provided more information than anything I could have read in the same time.
@SebinNyshkim @bstix
I have other theory

Most users now are NT “visual learners” who get it from watching someone doing stuff and mentally connecting their hand movements to what they see, they have a hard time to read
“we” fringe people have often more autistic brains with the ability to not read but getting the content of text and static images as a kind of holographic connection right into our brains.
We stumble over forceds serial input like video and get de-concentrated by “candy”

Modern people are decreasingly having a computer at all and rarely using “the internet” anymore. They are living with a mobile phone (that is no approbiate device to write a text) and anything goes through specific Apps. So its the most simple way for them to just point their camera to something and tap on the youtube app to record and publish.
@SebinNyshkim @bstix On the other hand, why sit and watch a 20 minute video for two paragraphs of actual information?
@wyliecoyoteuk @bstix true, it can also absolutely go the other way around
