Title: "I"

First line: "[YouTuber] PolyMatt"

The article just advertises the video. This post could be just the video.

I for one never ever click on a video link here. I suspect I'm not alone.

You're not. I'll only click on a video, here, after checking the comments

It's interesting how HN crowd are mostly text (and text with low formatting too!) consumers. Compared to other social media, and even old school forums...

Are we mostly l33t developers here, in love with CLI and Vim? Ha!

I personally think the plain text howtos and forums of 1996-2002 were way easier to follow than the video links that come up these days.

The phrase “old school forums” really does a number on me. Forums are a web thing, and the web is newfangled tech.

		Usenet, bbs. There are a lot of forums that predate the web.

Come on, it's absurd to think that we all follow a stereotype. Some of us use emacs.

Why’s that?

		Same reason I never click on YouTube links from friends: I find it annoying to have to wait to find out if I'm interested or not. On the other hand, I'll click on any non-video link someone sends me to have a look.
