Video certainly has uses where the visual element is key to what is being conveyed.Me either on a consistent basis....but when something in the video is visual based you lose out if you don't watch. Sometimes you have to see it like football film.
But as a basic journalistic means to convey basic information -- it is inefficient and a huge barrier, over both a short news article or better long-form journalism.
So in a thread like this, I am going to just scroll right past videos, especially longer videos or videos where the poster posts it with little or no direction and context.
