    If YouTube videos are what “modern journalism” has to offer, modern journalism is trash.

    I have absolutely zero interest in watching an eight minute video to gain what I could have read in two minutes.

    I don’t need to see anybody 's face or hear any stupid music or, even worse, watch them talk over another video as they present the information. 90% of what these people do would be more effective presented textually, and the rest is ads, vamping, and narcissism.

    YouTube is great for spreading misinformation and propaganda, and wasting people’s time. Let’s move on.
