Whenever I click a news article and it’s a video I’m like, “ok! guess I won’t be learning about that current event!!”
@lolennui also if said news article came from a friend, it is almost without exception one of my less intelligent friends. As a rule people who consume primarily via video seem less intelligent to me. They rarely refer to primary sources, and are almost always regurgitating opinions instead of fact.
@TrexPushups @lolennui the best way to avoid propaganda is to seek out primary sources and ignore clickbait shock jocks. I know everyone learns differently, but reading encourages reader participation, you're actively synthesizing what you consume, whereas being spoonfed an opinion via video is passive consumption. I know no-one is immune, but passive consumers are far more likely to have a partial understanding of anything.
@gr0k @lolennui nothing you said here is wrong.
It is definitely there I go but by the grace of Godzilla situation though
