                    Seriously though. Web video is such a fking anti pattern.

                  And every time we do an analysis of how users watch web video... it turns out they don't.

                The hubris of media: YouTube can't make a profit, but you're going to figure out how to make money on web videos. It'll be you for sure.

              Think about it: web video mostly doesn't at all match up with how users interact with the web. In fact it interrupts & slows it.

            Just ride public transport and watch literally anyone with a smart phone. Or in an office. Or apartment. Or your parents.

          Every time you see a user encounter web video, especially unintentionally--which happens all the time, they get a pained look.

        It is worth repeating how almost every study (not performed by people who profit from promoting web videos) shows no one wants web videos.

      Even serious wire cutters want to treat it as a channel, they don't want random videos popping up on the web.

    Web video is the quintessential example of how news orgs would rather burn users for immediate profit than think about how loyalty matters.

      Web video is just one more reason readers don't trust mainstream media. Because it shows we neither listen to them or care about them.

        And 80% of these companies providing web video tools are extending the same open source code library and just stealing your money.

          Millions of dollars being spent to have someone else set up videojs for you. What a scam.
