Before I even clicked it I knew there would be no real journalism involved. It's just parroting the video the LegalEagle put out, so if you'd rather give your click to the creator, just watch the Youtube video, and don't bother with the techcrunch "article".
This article credits Legal Eagle, embeds the original, is much shorter to read than an 8-minute video and doesn’t require me to wear headphones. Lemmy is a text based social media so it makes sense to favour text sources. Definitely better than linking to some overloaded Invidious instance which seems to be the norm.
I believe in the right to quote which is also the law in most of the world because of Berne Convention.
If YouTube videos are what "modern journalism" has to offer, modern journalism is trash.
I have absolutely zero interest in watching an eight minute video to gain what I could have read in two minutes.
I don't need to see anybody 's face or hear any stupid music or, even worse, watch them talk over another video as they present the information. 90% of what these people do would be more effective presented textually, and the rest is ads, vamping, and narcissism.
YouTube is great for spreading misinformation and propaganda, and wasting people's time. Let's move on.
You're so angry lol. Just don't watch it jeez.
