Are there any posts here that are not videos?

I don't open video posts because movement on the screen makes me dizzy. This is caused by nerve damage in my right inner ear, it's called vestibular neuropathy.

I hate videos too. And it seems You Tube has done away with their transcript function. 😓

I wish more would include at least a summary, too.

I would much rather have some actual dialogue than just videos without comment

For me, I want to see what the title says the video is about, not a 15 minute intro. I always bail, I can always find what they promised on line.

Tell us what is in the video that you want us to see. Then please show us what the start time of where the item of interest is. That way, we can scroll to it and see what it is you want us to see without having to waste our time.

is read something about whatever the subject may be. I don't do videos nor do I follow links. Pickins are getting real slim around here.

And for similar reasons, to say nothing of wsting a half hour on something I could read in five minutes. If someone is too lazy to not provide a transcript, then what they say must. no be very useful or important.
