Any time you read "Hi, my name is ____ and this is _____" you know it's a transcript. Nobody (hopefully) writes like that for reading consumption. It's just so awkard when read.
There was another one of these here just the other day about processing cocoa from bean to chocolate. The written text kept saying things that implied a visual reference, but no images to support it. It wasn't until the end of the transcript before the video itself was embedded.
It's great that the transcript exists though. I never would have watched the video (video is my least favourite format for information of any kind) so I would have missed out. More YouTubers should do transcripts!
I will basically never watch a video unless itβs the only possible source of information for something I desperately need about how to repair something (which is becoming more often, unfortunately).
It amazes me that ANYONE would prefer to watch a video over reading, I literally cannot understand why that would be the case.
It would be great if prefer-video people could write something up for video-never people like me on why they prefer it! Then I could try to make a truly terrible video explaining my perspective. ;)
