My workplace has taught me that the majority of adults cannot read above a fifth grade level.

Yep. If it's a video it gets a hard pass from me. They can get their 'views' from someone else.

Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.

videos are easier to consume while doing something else. reading may be faster, but you can't drive to work, do the dishes, workout, etc. while reading. if you're not into multitasking then reading is the clearly better option, but I think most young people have grown up so surrounded by barrages of inormation from different sources all at once that multitasking comes extremely naturally to them

glad to know that I'm not alone who prefers to read articles over watching videos

Videos get more money per impression
