Would you rather watch a video or read a blog?

Question

Okay so I wanted tonnes of opinions and knew CC was the best place to get them. 
Thoughts behind the post: I’m starting to ease into blogging which has started with my instagram. I use so many products and visit quite a few restaurants and want to share this! My one issue is that I’m not super confident about speaking to my laptop but if everyone votes video/blog then I’ll get on it! This will mainly be reviews, tips and tricks! 
To make it CC worthy (hopefully): 
Do you think we have become lazy as many things now are in video form? For example, when going onto news sites they usually have a summary or video content. 
Will there come a day where we will only read say 50 words per day? What effects do you think that has? 
Is the rise of videos something you enjoy? 
(I’ll happily accept if this gets removed and sorry for using you all! 😂 I hope you forgive me)

Answer

The only thing I don’t like about vlogs is when the person talks about irrelevant things and doesn’t get to the point. I prefer reading bc it’s easier to skim through to what I want, rather than skipping through a video and having to rewind and find what I’m looking for.

Answer

It depends on the topic and who wrote the blog or who is doing the video. There's this one lady who does makeup tutorial videos and I can't stand to watch them bc she says what she's going to do at least 5 or six times before she even starts doing the tutorial bc she keeps stopping to talk about random shit. I got ten minutes into a video before she finally started anything to do with her makeup... no, I'd rather read about it.

Answer

I'd rather read. I can read and absorb info faster than people talk, and half talking is just filler words. I get annoyed with vlogs tbh. Unless it's a necessary visual demonstration

Answer

i love reading well written pieces but I'm not interested in talking head vlogs. a well edited video might be interesting but I'm probably not your target audience in general.

Answer

I read a ton. Only videos I watch are fails. I tried watching some blogs, but got so annoyed by people rambling instead of getting to the point. I've noticed women are much worse so I steer clear usually. If you get to the point quickly and don't say um a bunch I would check it out!

Answer

I picked blog/article. I don’t enjoy watching vlogs/YouTube videos much. Although I’d check out your. 😘
I don’t think we’re becoming lazy, but I do think the glut of information available can be overwhelming. I do see a change in my attention span since switching to a smartphone, but I don’t think people will ever totally give up in depth reading.

Answer

I prefer videos cause I can multitask while watching them. Also I am best with the aural/verbal learning style so if I want information it’s easiest for me to listen to it. That is only for lifestyle topics tho. I usually prefer books over everything else. 
I don’t think I’d call it lazy, Technology has changed and so has the way to get information and knowledge.

Answer

I HATE videos & literally just will not watch no matter what it is.

Answer

Depends on my mood. Somethings I like to read, others I want to watch.

Answer

Maybe it is lazy, but I read all day at school and being able to watch a video is a little bit of a relief. It’s also not as much of a strain on my eyes. I’m a squinter when I read, but not when I watch a video.
