Eh, what percentage of the commenters do you think actually read the article; what % watched the video? Some are just commenting from the title alone.

I'd guess that more than just some commenting didn't look at the article. There's complaints in the comments that only make sense if you ignore that there's an article at all.

But despite Physics Girl's video embedded in there being much better than the text, I can't fault anyone for not watching it. There are many situations where you can read through something, but can't watch a video.

I too generally prefer not to spend time on videos, although I was interested in this one so watched it.

However, nobody is requiring you to comment critically on something you haven't actually watched, heh.

I haven't seen anything about monads for going on maybe five years now. It seems that trend has come and gone.
