I'm glad that you have a workflow that works for you! I like to open up articles, instantly hit the 'reader mode' button, cmd+f for keywords, and hit 'next' until I find the relevant section. This usually takes just a few seconds to get to get meat (if there's anything worth skipping). One advantage is my internet connection isn't always great, so I only have to wait for a few kb of text to download (even on a shit connection that's not generally a lag I'm capable of noticing), whereas with videos I often have some loading issues. Also I hate the style of most presenters and can scroll back to the right point more easily in text articles if I've gone 'too far', so that's an approach that works for me.

Thanks for sharing! I've never heard of sponsor block, I rely on ublock origin (for Firefox, not the handicapped chrome version) when watching videos, and usually only watch videos that I actually want to watch, but I appreciate having another tool in my box.

Who are you, that can skim a video faster than skimming text? That's, like, the complete opposite of my lived experience ๐Ÿ˜‚. What a rich melange of folks make up this world, eh.

I'm still bitter about cha cha cha

Lot of people boycotted it because of their inclusion, which kinda pumps their numbers. Wouldn't have seen myself rooting for Austria to beat Israel when I was younger, lol, but here we are

Yeah you can basically completely disregard any other aspect in this study, right? 'massive trauma in early life has strong impact' is the real finding here, and that's hardly a new one

Literally seen my girls do both at the same time today. These are far from mutually exclusive

Is this a joke? Analysis of techniques would be literally asking why an argument were lost, if an argument was indeed lost. Of course you're making a lot of assumptions there, and I agree you're not making an effort

YouTube will put multiple ad breaks into a popular 8 min video. Which is why I use playtube and/or Firefox with ad block unless I'm too hungover to fully function
