    The simple solution is to just… stop using video so much. Video is riddled with problems as a long term human record, doesn’t scale, increases perpetually in requirements without actually improving quality of CONTENT, isn’t indexable or searchable, isn’t easily translated into multiple languages, not as easily shared, not as easy to back up… Text is not obsolete. It was our main method of information transmission for tens of thousands of years, and NOTHING will convince me that it should be replaced as the primary method.

    Again, it’s a human problem. If humans accepted text and images again for the majority of information transfer, the problem would go away.

      I’ve minimized my short form video consumption and reliance on Youtube for entertainment for this very reason. Podcasts are great to listen to when I’m doing chores
