I wouldn't feel too disheartened just yet, if people wanted to read instead of watch videos then we all would've stuck with blogger, or even just go back to usenet. As you can see in the comments here, these services are a dime a dozen. Seems like everybody and their mother have made a youtube summarizer, its like the todo list app of the ChatGPT api.

Eh, I think it’s also “if creators wanted to write instead of shoot videos,” but it really is easier to just talk to the camera (with all the nuance of vocal and facial expressions) and put that online than to spend time deliberating on how to write is as a blog post.


It's also some degree of Google prioritizing videos in searches over written results.
