A whole lot of the disconnect has to do with age. Those of us who grew up with AOL 3.0 and earlier prefer the text based internet, but those who grew up with video are quite comfortable with it. I played MUDs and find video either too slow paced or distracting with jump cuts.

Been using that lot after finding out about it on lemmy to just skim through the text of a video or Ctrl F.

I concur, because I don't have the patience to watch people blab on about their bullshit and panhandle for Likes and all that garbage. I would much rather read some detailed but concise information about the topic I'm investing my time in.
