Who's "we"? Luddites?
Which is fair, but we all know that’s not why the original person posted the dismissive comment they did.
You do understand that’s like saying you look down on television as a medium, or magazines as a medium, correct?
Television and magazines are far more general. Television as a medium could be compared to Web as a medium. YT could be compared to a specific TV channel.
…Yeah, that falls apart when you consider YT is full of specific channels. That’s why I specifically compared it to TV. It’s far closer to cable than a single channel.
This is an absurd argument to make.
The 'medium' in this sense is mp4 (video w/sound). YouTube is a platform.
Is all video news fallable?
