All of the above is precisely why I write long winded articles chock-a-block full of pictures and I don’t produce video essays.
Well, that and having a face made for radio but a voice made for print may also have something to do with it.
You can read anywhere from 4x-10x faster than someone can present.
It’s that simple.
Add to it, 99% of people completely suck at presenting.
I have siblings who are teachers, and I’m a technical instructor. We work hard to not waste your time.

- incase
- aswell
- literally
- (his|her|their|the) emails
- the ask
- the spend
I use literally. It’s a useful word. If someone complains about a use case of a tool, and that use case is literally the intended use case, it conveys how inappropriate their complaint is.

“The ask” and “the spend” are a newer bit of scumbag coke-addled salesman dialect that has crept out into the light. Someone will ask “what was the ask on this?” where they mean to ask what the request or question was. Similarly, salesman use “the spend” in place of “the invoice” or “the budget”.
It’s like when “do lunch” or “action this” was used unironically.
