      All of the above is precisely why I write long winded articles chock-a-block full of pictures and I don’t produce video essays.

      Well, that and having a face made for radio but a voice made for print may also have something to do with it.

      You can read anywhere from 4x-10x faster than someone can present.

      It’s that simple.

      Add to it, 99% of people completely suck at presenting.

      I have siblings who are teachers, and I’m a technical instructor. We work hard to not waste your time.

        You can read anywhere from 4x-10x faster than someone can present.

        It’s that simple.

        And in a well-written, well-organized article, you can very quickly and easily skip paragraphs or entire sections that aren’t relevant to what you’re trying to get out of it.
