What do you miss from the old internet?
i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

I can read and skim documents for salient details at 500 - 800 words per minute.
And then someone links me to a twelve minute video on YouTube where 800 words are spoken in total , 300 of those words are "um,so", and all we're looking at is either the narrator , or possibly a static slide with a few paragraphs on it... and also an inset of the narrator, narrating.
Or stock videos
You also can't ctrl-f a video. It's by far the worst format for information.
And in terms of actual information per kilobyte, itโs often absolutely laughable compared to text.
Everyoneโs using video for everything these days because thatโs where the ad money is. Hooray, the tyranny of capitalism.
