I don’t know if you’re making fun of me, but, seriously, for me Wikipedia is an enormously valuable resource, much more than, for instance, YouTube (which I use, maybe, twice per year).
Some folks enjoy reading articles. Some folks enjoy to watch, listen and read (captions) at the same time. Some folks rather ask around and learn through conversations.
I’ve understood that it’s generally easier to learn new things when you use many different channels (audio, imagery etc). To many people but not to all.
I use Wikipedia a LOT, but I use YouTube for hours every day and this is funny to me. Twice a year? You’re not outright boycotting, but you really find it so useless that you only go there twice a year? Wild.
Indeed. In first instance, I don’t really enjoy watching random videos. Additionally, if I look for technical tutorials or the likes, I prefer to get them in written format. Video is an extremely inefficient format for the kind of info I search on the internet.
There are so many topics that are easier to consume in writing than video.
Why would someone film a bunch of code? Now I can’t search it, scroll through it or even copy it.
