Sorry I don't click YT, unless it's really worth it. What is the video about?

newpipe (or some other front end) saved me from missing absolutely everything

I'm going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn't the problem, it's videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.

It's a video because it's a TED Talk (not a TED Essay). However, they do provide transcripts: https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like/transcript

Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I'm somewhere I can watch a video).
