@bestiaexmachina same. I asked a guy who does the website for the local news why they can't just post a transcript and he said he was trained that people won't read. I have only met people that hate the video tho so I'm not sure who told him that or how they came up with it.
@OkieSpaceQueen @bestiaexmachina I wonder whether it's hideously misinterpreted research. "People viewed the text version for 15 seconds, as opposed to 10 minutes for the page with the video"—but the text people only needed 15 seconds to find and read the info, and the video ones spent 5 minutes trying to get the damn thing to play, 5 seconds assessing it as junk once it finally started, and the remaining 4 minutes 55 seconds trying to get it to stop again . . .
