Probably due to the average age of a lot of people on Lemmy. I’ve found that a lot of people who are middle aged or older have a preference for text over video.
I’m not old, I just don’t want dig though 20 minutes of “content” to watch a 3 second clip. It’s like SEO filler at this point. I’m here to doom scroll, not watch videos. A video feels like hitting a speed bump.

Interesting, I assumed the average age was younger here.
I wonder.
Also, I noticed text on a lot of videos on tiktok, and that skews young, right? like vine never had subtitles, but that was a lot of young people too.
Maybe the culture is just changing, a lot of other countries use subtitles for everything.
It’s not subtitles, it’s text instead of video.
As an “older” person, I much prefer one or two paragraphs I can skim in 30 seconds to a 5-10 minute video that is 95% fluff…
I like articles too, but they aren’t talking about articles right?
They’re just talking about a text description of a meme?
The original poster is talking about videos in general not memes.
The other thread was asking about memes.
Thanks
