@neil @gytis @gytis why do people prefer making, or (if they do) consuming videos? Two theories I’ve heard (neither of which seem to fit with FOSS projects) are illiteracy, and monetisation

@neil @gytis @gytis I ponder this as a frustrated person living in a video dominated world. Has anyone written an auto “unroller”? If you wrote out the closed captions to a web page, interspersed with screen grabs, linking to time offsets in the original video… there could be some smart work to choose good key frames. I’d find that very useful

@gytis @gytis @neil thinking further; you could auto-fold/collapse sections of the text corresponding to the bits of video that are irrelevant: “hit like, subscribe, here’s a word from our sponsor” etc

@neil @gytis @gytis yeah I appreciate your point; I’ve gone off on a tangent
