I'm glad to know that people out there still like to read. It's terrifyingly concerning that 54% of adults in America, have the literacy at the 6th grade level and below.
If pivoting to video succeeded, we would just be seeing people left and right just responding through recordings. Can you imagine how debates would work? It'd just be boring video responses to video responses of what was said, not that it doesn't happen anyways because it already does. But I'm talking if it was the basis of just communicating because the idea of reading and understanding words would be 'too hard' for them to grasp.
