    I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.

    If I showed up at a restaurant and was presented with a menu that didn’t describe anything about the dishes on offer, I’d be pretty disappointed.

    Point being that we have limited time and a nearly limitless amount of options for how to spend it. Text summaries are a tool we can use to decide whether something is worth our time (and money) investment if we’re on the fence about it.

      A menu is not a creative work it’s a means to convey information. Veritasium is not reading wikipedia articles on screen, he’s creating an original work.

      Listen I am not criticizing how you choose to enjoy your time I just find the entire concept of finding the experience of reading a text summary to be more to be more rewarding than experiencing the thing itself to be alien.
