You know why text summaries are good? If I read a thesis statement and go “yup, I agree with the thesis and know enough about the major points raised to skip this” I save NINETY FUCKING MINUTES of my life. Alternatively, if I see something in the summary that piques my interest, I can watch the video to get more detail.

I save NINETY FUCKING MINUTES of my life.
I save 2 hours of my life by not watching a movie and not being entertained by an experience. But then I’m just filling it with something less impactful, more mundane bullshit.
Some things are worth putting the time into. Complaining about how long it is doesn’t change the fact that it’s WORTH NINETY FUCKING MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE!

I popped that sucker on 3x speed with captions, and it was a great watch

Text can't capture the emotion and vulnerability that Alec put on the line here. A summary betrays the time and effort he put into making the video. He's even got carefully crafted subtitles in case you watch it silently.

When I read a summary of a film before I go to watch it, I don’t assume that I have absorbed the intensity of an actor’s performance. I have been disappointed too many times by excessively long YouTube videos to spent an hour and a half without knowing what the general content of the video is.
