Most meetings could be an email and most Youtube videos should just be a blog post with pictures.

In most cases I want to ingest the content, not watch a dramatisation of it.

Watching stuff for entertainment value is fine, I can watch a 3 hour analysis of some event easily. But when shit's on fire right now and I want to know how to fix it, I don't have time for fluff pieces.

(this is actually a good use for AI, a simple yt-dlp script + local LLM can easily grab the video transcription or subtitles and condense the actual points)
