I find my engagement with video content and text content is different. Video content "goes down" easier, but tends to not engage my thinking as deeply. Reading text feels more difficult, but I also feel like it forces me to consider every detail more thoroughly. I could easily spend all day consuming visual content, and I have in the past, but I find myself working to cut out that kind of content lately. I must be getting old. 😜

I think the difference is that text demands your attention in a way video doesn't. If you stop paying attention to what you are reading, you stop reading. It's very easy to sort of sit and daydream while watching a video without noticing it because the video keeps playing. · 2 years ago
