sure, but even the NPR article opens with a video of the interview. You can certainly choose to share a YouTube link instead of a written article, and you make great points for why. But for maximum reach and accessibility, I generally lean towards sharing text instead of video or audio, if the option is available. There's a reason NPR puts all that work into transcribing the highlights!
In my defense, this was just a YouTube suggestion after finishing another video. I do share NPR text links here regularly, but only when the text version is what I run into. This is somewhat the difference between being paid to provide news and volunteering. But I get where you're coming from.
Maybe I just put too much thought into this because I'm always scrolling Beehaw to avoid work ๐
Thank you for your service.
