I know it can be hard to watch a video essay let alone one recommened by some weirdo online, but this video is high quality, not lib and a newer channel that’s putting out some decent Marxist stuff and could use a view bump. It’s earned.

      Nothing makes me feel older than how much content on the internet these days is video. Bring back blog posts, man. Let me read your thoughts. I know this is mostly a symptom of monetization practices, video is much more lucrative, but I dislike it so much.

        sometimes i really just want a searchable tidbit of information that was usually in a longer blog post. video makes it so annoying to find and parse information.

        i’m not even counting all the ceremony that has to be made of it (ads, long winded intros, begging for interaction, announcements every video yadda yadda yadda)

        Well yeah, it is? More people would be able to enjoy if it was also in text.

        Revolutionarythot also went to the trouble of getting a transcript for subtitling (which I appreciate), so the only barrier is the pricing mechanisms of ~ content creation ~ in the 2020s

        Go away
