I was born in 1981 so, in the United States at least, I’m considered an “elder millennial” rather than Generation X or a Baby Boomer. It’s a silly thing but we give our generations names.
When I was growing up, Google didn’t exist (much less YouTube) so watching a video was a pain in the ass. It took whole ass minutes to download, you needed RealPlayer/codecs, and then half the time, it could have been a text article that took 30 seconds to read. So, asking someone to watch a video that could have been an article was considered rude. Now, it’s probably the opposite and video is preferred.
It’s a bit similar to “this meeting could have been an email” but I meant no disrespect. It’s just that I’m old and prefer text Internet to video.
Watching a video is still a pain, 10mins of rabbiting on to make a point that usually can be summarised in 3 sentences (ie 20secs reading tops). And THAT ignores the shenanigans YouTube are up to forcing logins and blocking VPNS.
I still consider it rude unless there is information that really does need to be visual.
