Was he the guy who on at least one channel constantly goes off topic? I remember being very frustrated about that while the comment section was like "Don't worry, we love your rambling!"

Anyways, I do love listening to history channels, but only a few these days cause I feel like there is a lot of AI/copying going around (which is hard to prove cause technically ppl could just have used the same sources).

I get my history fix from podcasts.

[(Anonymous)]

in the post-Discovery Channel world, I don't trust anything on video anymore. Give me a good book to read, it won't come with hilaribad AI-generated thumbnails and the constant stream of dramatic voice "but was that really the case??" I want my history delivered to me dry and factual, zero drama, zero reinactment footage, zero fakeouts pretending to be pseudohistory except oops haha we fooled the conspiracy jerks this is real history. Books are safe, more or less.

I have never heard of this but it sounded intriguing enough to look it up. I’ve never really been able to get into podcasts but I think this may be the exception. Thank you, OP!

Nah man, it is the reading. Kids are unable to read whole works and need "interactive media" or to have works broken into small bite size bits to be able to function. Plus, reading comprehension is at an all time low. So even if they are able to read they don't fully understand what they're reading unless someone spoon feeds it to them.

I work in education in the US. It has gotten so bad over the past 5 years or so, though there had been a noticeable decline even before that.

[(Anonymous)]

It's none of that. It's the short form social media. Tweets and tiktok videos and instagram "stories" that are only a minute, post cute pictures, get the one liner, the news will cut it down to five seconds.

Education is down, literacy is down, attention spans are down. Even a large number people on AO3, the reading website, couldn't parse out what the rewrite of the TOS was saying, even though it was the exact same policy written in more accessible language. Hell, see secret number 5 to get someone who doesn't understand that words have meanings irrespective of their emotions on the matter.

Listening to Dracula Daily isn't interactive. It's not about the interactivity.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone for whom interactivity is a big factor, I kind of get where this is coming from. I could probably read a 300 page novel in a visual novel format but would fall asleep if it was a movie I had to sit there and do nothing but watch.

At the same time, I'm not sure if it's an "everyone" thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I can’t relate to this at all. I can’t watch or listen to things unless I’m actively doing something else like driving because they’re just too passive activities. But reading is fully engaging for me; I’m holding the book and occupying my eyes and brain. With TV or podcasts, it’s just sitting there with nothing to interact with.

[(Anonymous)]

I just got burnt out on what my teachers wanted me to read because it was never things I enjoyed (I still hate In Cold Blood because of the fucking tangents that guy went on).

Big same OP. I have actively worked on this issue and am ~mostly~ okay with my "wrong" likes and preferences but there is still a twinge in my mind, like a mental flinch waiting for the backlash, when I talk about the latest thing I'm into.

Good news thread!

I just saw that an author I love has announced a new book will be out later this year and</> I found a BBC Earth doc about dolphins narrated by David Tennant to watch! Those two things are equally exciting for me.
