    Did you watch this specific video?

    I think your criticisms are valid and accurate in general, but I have to say I don’t think they work very well against this video.

    I think it would have taken Johnny Harris two hour-long videos to cover all the information she did in 24 minutes, and of course his analysis would be CIA sewage

    I personally can read faster than a video, but this format has some advantages like:

    • real human emotion to emphasize the important parts
    • more historical photos than I think would work in an article
    • getting to hear the local pronunciation for people and places
    • like it or not, it seems the majority of the human population prefers to get information over video. This one happens to be seasoned with class analysis throughout
