i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

    It’s very easy to process an actual article and evaluate whether it actually does what I’m looking for enough to read it properly.

    Video doesn’t provide that. It’s a bad format unless what you’re doing is actually visual in nature. Reviewing a video game? Sure, provided you’re spending meaningful examples of the actual mechanics. Reviewing a video camera? Absolutely.

    If your video is just you talking at a camera, it almost definitely shouldn’t be a video.
