I agree with you in this, that I don’t like watching most stuff on YouTube and prefer short articles to read (unless they are written from an AI, which plagues most blogs now). But recent years I became more and more of a YouTube/video consumer and sometimes just sitting there and watching for pure fun is also cool. But I absolutely get what you are saying. Maybe I’m a bit used to his style now.
Often when I watch others, it feels such a waste of time. I have memorized to use jumping to next chapter with keyboard shortcut Ctrl-right, which is a godsend, plus SponsorBlock addon (not only for sponsors, but also for outros, recaps, interaction reminder and such). I even watch many videos at higher speed, often x1.2. Many people are talking too slow in my opinion, but Brodie is not one of them.
