Did Facebook’s faulty data push publishers to make terrible decisions on video?

Taking a step back, the idea that learning is about fast data transfer is probably not going to hold up to scrutiny at all.

Learning needs to be data transfer at the speed with which your brain learns, which isn't going to be as fast as it can process data through an existing conception of the world.

You need to consider complimentary data incoming through multiple senses, and data which is better represented in moving picture form.

Id argue it 1) primarily depends on the topic 2) also primarily depends on a specific persons brain 9/10 I hate video results.

For 1 if I want information I don't need logos/animations, I don't need "hello fellow YouTubers", etc.

Event the "repair car" example. Suppose need to make some action to repair a vacuum pump. Unless I just don't know where it is in the engine bay (or some other location/orientation information) what value is looking at anything?
