It's just video is slowly replacing writing. Old people were used to reading, young people are used to watching short videos and skipping. For video games I find it easier to find "walktrough no commentary" to figure out how long the game is and scroll briefly to see the gameplay than to read subjective view of author. I simply watch gameplay and decide if game is for me or not.
God I hate this. I much prefer writing to videos.
Obviously we're on writing website.
