    Listen, we don’t read the article and we don’t watch the video before commenting. Maybe we’re reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

      It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

        I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

      To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.

        Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it’s just someone talking, it should’ve been an article.
