i'm starting to hate ben and rob. now and again when i click on an interesting topic on the tom's website, i am taken to a video of them talking about it. and, i hate it. i'd like at least to have the transcript of the video to read as an option instead of watching it.
with an article covering the topic I can take a couple minutes to read through it and i can skip all the extraneous fluff. however, with ben and rob I have to sit through a lot of fluff and there is no fast forward.
video is a visual media and there should be something visual about it that improves the informational content of the piece. if a video is simply two guys sitting at a desk talking, it is a waste. there is nothing offered beyond words, and if words is all there is, why not just write it down so I can read it at my own pace?
so, if you're going to talk, give me an article, not a video.
