Why post a 14 minute video for what is probably a 3 minute read?

Why post a video in the video community?

If you came here to read you're in the wrong place.

For the same reason I'd attend a meeting and complain afterwards that it could've been an email, despite knowing that I was going into a meeting.

I think it's reasonable to expect the video formats to only be used when it's a good medium for communicating whatever it's communicating.

I mean some people prefer watching videos than reading articles, I think it's fair to post a video and it's fair for you to not prefer it as well.
