A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Written is a superior form 🤷♂️
If reading is like eating, then watching a video is the tube feeding thing (the tube that they put through your nose).
Video is simply superior when my brain's at 50%.
If it's pure entertainment then sure. But when your brain is at 50% is when video is potentially the most harmful, you're less able to resist whatever narrative they might be pushing.
A lot of people struggle to read, and it's kind of sad. https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/ was an interesting post about it (available as a podcast and transcripts).
That said, some people really just do wallow and the slop and that's an embarrassment.
