Question for posters (looking for feedback)
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.

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

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