I don’t like these generational generalizations.

Not an xer but I feel the same. I’d rather read twenty minutes than watch a 5 minute YouTube video.

“Elder millennial”/Oregon Trail generation here, and I’d generally rather read it, too. I’ve found it often only takes 5 minutes to read an article where the video would be 20 minutes. Sometimes a video works better for a how-to, but often an article will be a faster choice.
