The pivot-to-video strategy, which has been attempted and failed at by countless content companies, has its own Wikipedia page.

I'm glad to know that people out there still like to read. It's terrifyingly concerning that 54% of adults in America, have the literacy at the 6th grade level and below.

If pivoting to video succeeded, we would just be seeing people left and right just responding through recordings. Can you imagine how debates would work? It'd just be boring video responses to video responses of what was said, not that it doesn't happen anyways because it already does. But I'm talking if it was the basis of just communicating because the idea of reading and understanding words would be 'too hard' for them to grasp.

Hell, YouTube too. I remember seeing an hours long video that was a response to someone else's hour long video (I think it was about dark souls 2 or bloodborne?). There's tons of response videos there too
