i’m like that. i REALLY don’t like watching videos unless i have to. For me it’s impatience. sometimes people speak too slowly or too quickly or i can’t hear them, or they’re full of too much dramatic hype… etc.
Even in my classes; I have one professor that doesn’t provide transcripts for his videos. So through some trial and error I figured out how to get the closed caption file from the video frame source. (I search for the words “media_tracks” and it’s the 2nd one that’s a url and that’s the webvtt (captions).
From there I put it into an AI and ask for an outline. THEN I’ll watch the video but at 2x because I know the ‘gist’ of what he’s gonna be talking about.
I hate being led along, I think that’s what it is. Little bits and pieces on a video where I’m supposed to pay close attention to what they’re saying….
