Listen, we don’t read the article and we don’t watch the video before commenting. Maybe we’re reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it’s just someone talking, it should’ve been an article.
Exactly!
So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good?
Yo, I love pudding pie. Is it chocolate?

Lemmy’s text-centric.
Why would anyone watch a pewdiepie video?
To discuss the video in a comments section associated with it.
