I infinitely prefer a well-written piece to a video.  With a video I have to listen and watch and have no idea if it's ever going to make a decent point, be relevant, or have a clever twist at the end that made it worth watching.<p>With text I can skim, I can go back, I can spot keywords, I can search, I can just do so much more.  Plus I read a <i>lot</i> faster than most people talk.<p>Please, people, do me a favor and write stuff.  If you can't write well, then maybe you're just boring and should learn to write better.
