The difference between watching youtube and reading a book

[Rio]

Is with a book, you stop and ask yourself questions as you go along. With a youtube you rarely do.

But do you ask yourself why that is?

Not if I'm watching YouTube.

Don't assume I know how to read.

book=no ads

video is like force feed of information maybe you trust it more subconciously
book is passive

if i had nothing better to do then a book is fine.
i find it hard to visualize and remember what i'm reading
i'v always had this problem even before the huge uprise in
mass video sharing and cellphones. didn't even get one until i was like 15

books just loose my interest so quickly. videos keep my attention and therefor
i remember more.

as an example in third grade we had to read the book "Holes"
then write about it, after that we got to watch the movie "Holes"

ill tell you the one i remember far more.

I can do without YouTube, but not books.

Because the medium is the message. Didn't Marshall McLuhan talk about this?

The difference between reading a book and watching YouTube videos is that I’ve never read a book for 10+ hours straight.

What do you mean? I ask myself more questions watching a video than reading a book...

I use Telegram. It requires a LOT of reading. It keeps me abreast of what's really going on without the detriment of having to listen to influencers and propaganda peddlers.

Patrick Lancaster, journalist shows Ukraine as it really is not as fake news wants you to believe it is. That guy has been nearly killed so many times by Lockheed's HIMARS and artillery shellings.
