My summary barely scratches the surface; the video gets deep into the code and the ones and zeroes. I don't think there's a wasted sentence in the entire piece.

While I agree with you in general, this is actually a really well-edited video full of lots of interesting stuff about how Super Mario Bros works beyond the conclusion.

Star Wars is set in a remote galaxy where a civil war is taking place. Rebels, led by Princess Leia, are fighting against a baddy called Darth Vader and his Imperial forces. Leia steals some Imperial blueprints for a deadly weapon called the Death Star but she is then captured by Imperial forces so...

.. yes, text is great, but video can, too, be great, whether it's explaining something fictional or not. Different strokes for different folks.

I think the parent is more frustrated by videos that drag on for 10 minutes before getting to the meat of the content.

Kind of weird to put the comment on this one then, since it's edited so tightly.

I would expect such a comment to be attached either when the commenter has watched the video and it is as described or when the commenter has not watched the video because of the frequency of such videos on YouTube.

The cool kids know that Star Wars is much better in text than video

or

(which apologies for video of text of video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJAbbRh9q4k

since the original is dead.

So you know exactly how the minus world glitch works then? I didn't get that from the comment at all.

This is a good one. It gets right into it, and consistently provides quality information for very nearly the entire video. No fluffery, just good visuals and good explanation.

It's actually a reasonably detailed explanation that goes beyond that summary, including into how SMB levels were represented and video breakdowns of the state changes.

But TL;DR is a way of life.

The video is well edited and the animation and drawing helps explain things much better than text and some images.

But how else would we make $300k a year on YouTube?

Weird criticism.

Video is a nice relaxing medium with video and audio.

Some prefer it others prefer text, I prefer both depending on where I am.

Guess what I prefer on the couch

Ha! More like $10k (or even less).
