It’d be a stronger vote if you just didn’t watch the professional videos.

I voted against it when we were deciding to make this video. I just feel that they're not engaging enough, and everyone is already doing them. If you want to stand out, make a real video, put some real effort into it.

It is more of a (biased?) demonstration than a debate, and obviously video is a better choice.

So you didn't watch the video, then.

csomar | karma 16546 | avg karma 2.52 · | 2018-05-17 16:52:28+00:00

Did you actually watch the videos?

Someone clearly didn’t watch the videos

I agree, but we appear to be in the minority. I find videos unengaging personally.

Just because you can raise money doesn't mean you should. I find video extremely distracting on a daily basis and avoid it at all costs. You may not feel the same.

Only if you've never watched a video because it was suggested to you

It's really hard to have an opinion without actually looking at such videos, can someone provide link so that I can provide a better opinion?

You must have not watched the video…

Gehinnn | karma 1015 | avg karma 3.5 · | 2021-11-01 08:10:01

I don't think winning the contest should be the primary motivation for making such a high quality education video.

slig | karma 8530 | avg karma 4.02 · | 2019-03-28 20:58:05+00:00

I wish I hadn't watched this video.

exhilaration | karma 4261 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2020-07-12 03:24:31

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I didn't watch the video and was satisfied reading summary in the linked article.

miobrien | karma 3014 | avg karma 11.96 · | 2017-03-20 21:03:09

I feel like you didn't watch the video.

pjc50 | karma 93685 | avg karma 3.72 · | 2014-07-16 06:41:57+00:00

Do you actually have to watch the video to downvote it?

hackerboos | karma 2211 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2013-03-25 09:13:18+00:00

You have to watch the video. These slides alone mean nothing.

amelius | karma 42902 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2023-07-01 07:54:49

Ok, I admit I didn't watch the video.

AndrewOMartin | karma 2383 | avg karma 3.62 · | 2015-04-23 14:07:25+00:00

The video is worth watching just to see how not-worth-watching the video is.

simonw | karma 58201 | avg karma 7.31 · | 2020-12-21 19:13:02+00:00

Same here - I will invest a great deal of effort in not having to watch a video, which increasingly makes me feel at odds with a large swathe of the engineer community.
