Curious to see where this goes. Video, even just snippets, is just so attention and time consuming. I prefer mediums I can scan quickly or consume passively without my full attention.

Funny you say that because videos are what I can consume passively when doing other work. Glancing back and forth. I can’t read a blog passively.

Now I do agree that the 10 second clips from TikTok or whatever do require full attention to “get”. Maybe that’s what you were referring to.
