Question for posters (looking for feedback)

DerekJohnson

Posters in Creep's Finance Board have said they tend to like articles being posted more so than YouTube videos about finance.

So I'm curious if posters in general prefer articles over videos, or is either just fine?

I'm asking because I post lots of YouTube videos for people to view and discuss.

Articles to me, I will almost never sit and watch a video of people talking. Same reason I'm not a big podcaster either. Reading forces my attention to stay focused.

The reason the Club members prefer articles are twofold: (1) the written word in the Queen's English! tends to delve deeper into a given topic of intellectual discourse than, ahem, the "You uh Tube"; and (2) the members, on the collective, are able to read much faster than it takes to watch a video covering the same ground of information, as it were.

A reasonable inference to draw from this is that the Tug fellows and the "Duck" board subscribers may well prefer videos ... of everything.

Cater to your audience Stalin.

Articles.

Videos require sound and I’m usually “multitasking” at “work” while I’m shitposting at HH.

Sometims I have time to read. Sometims I don't and can get shit done while listening to a video/pod.

My personal learning style is such that auditory/verbal is much stronger than reading. I'm a two email guy - if something isn't resolved in two emails, I'm picking up the phone to talk through stuff and ask questions. Lawyers hate it because they can't go back and review their emails and bill me a half hour for a two minute call because they know I'll bitch.

(Plus - pro executive tip - don't leave a long paper trail on ANYTHING. It will always come back to bite you in the ass.)

I use reading to go back and codify my understanding on a given topic. Or if I really have available tim to contemplate every sentence/paragraph.

Depends on the quality and presentation.

Articles are nice if I want to skim around, where I can read the headlines and section headers to see if it's relevant.

Youtube is nice if I know I want to listen to something since I can go to another tab or leave the computer and still listen.

If you're looking to generation more discourse and engagement for your articles or videos, you could add a 1-liner to start the discussion.

There are great articles and there are great videos. If I see a video that I think others would enjoy or learn from, I post it. Ditto article. People don't HAVE to watch a video that's posted, and content is content. If I'm at work and need to be quiet, I can always come back to the video later if it's something that seemed interesting.

If I had a choice between, say, reading a Taibbi article about financial sector malfeasance or watching a video of some douche interviewing him, I'm taking that article every tim. That's rarely an option, though, as it's usually either/or. In the absence of an article, that video is better than nothing.

In short, I don't see a problem.

TheRoarOfTheCrowd

I like both and regularly look at a mix of both... as others have said it’s always dependent upon quality of content

whlinder

Written word. Always.

FremontTroll

0% chance I’m watching a video. 1% chance I’m reading an article. So articles I guess.

Videos are fine if fairly short. You know, five six minutes.

Otherwise, print can be scanned (and misinterpreted faster and easier).

I rarely click on a video though I'm starting to a little more of late. I'll still read an article before a video 99/100 times given a choice, unless the video is an action one...football highlights, humping, etc.

I like videos of nachos and nacho cheese sauce.

I like articles for everything else.

Exactly. I think Stalin already got feed back in the chess club bored. BTW, I fixed creep's post above.

Thank you DJ for tailoring your providing of information to the purpose of each board and to it's member's preferences which can now be accurately summarized as follows:

Hardcore Husky Bored : UW football or general athletic department conversation with increased Malarkey during the offseason. Okay, Fuck that. It's ALWAYS the offseason.

The Finance Board : A place for the people of all backgrounds to come for intelligent, thoughtful and respectful financial discourse without Vitriol or Malarkey. Well, as intelligent, thoughtful and respectful as each member can be.

The Tug : A shit show of politics where the members of the minority political party go to make themselves feel better about losing the most recent election (despite advantages like the electoral college, voter suppression, etc.) while ignoring the party destroying effect that the former POTUS twice impeached's continues to have. Heavy on the Vitriol.

If you take a look from 10,000 feet your vision is spot on, DJ. Thanks, again.

Articles, but I will pick and choose vids if I see they're less than 10 minutes long. Media are too reliant on videos these days. Podcasts only when working out.

greenblood

I don’t have time to watch a video all the way through. It’s easier to stop and come back to an article.
