An example that I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp_qHcQQyz8

I feel like this has become a trend. Personally, I can’t stand it, but since it’s become a trend, I figured I might be in the minority. Am I the only one who finds it impossible to fully process several sentences of text WHILE someone is providing verbal commentary? I’m constantly having to pause so I can read the text, which not only defeats the purpose of watching a video instead of reading an article, but also tires my brain out since it keeps switching between reading and listening.

I get that some topics involve lots of textual references, especially discussing court cases like the above example, but I would much rather the creator either (a) stick to verbal summaries and commentary while providing links to all references in case I want to dig deeper myself after watching, or (b) if they’re gonna show a bunch of text, read it out loud so that I can put the video on while I do the dishes or something without needing to keep my eyes on the screen and my finger hovering over the pause button.
