On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

    Imagine asking a question and someone handing you 12 page essay and telling you to read it

    That’s what replying with a link to an 8-minute video is like lol

      I’ve read lengthy articles posted in response to questions before. Just depends on the complexity of the topic and whether I’m actually interested. Weird objection to have IMO.

        Right, because you know going in that you’re interested. Neither of you provided a description to let OP know if they’re even interested before they commit 8 minutes to a video that may or may not answer the question

        It’s not a huge deal or anything, your “not to be rude” line just made me laugh. I was at work and definitely could not afford the time
