MODERATORS
I don't know who or what SciShow is. i guess it's good they linked their sources that's not really the contention.
The contention is that you don't have to watch the whole ass video if you think it could be a few paragraphs because if it actually is just a few paragraphs, the sources are right there for you to read. If you don't like videos about relevant topics then don't watch them.
I assume the person who made the video did more than just read the cited papers, but added some of their own analysis and commentary on top. Like, for any paper that cites sources you cannot get the its meaning merely by reading the cited sources. That's absurd.
Presumably you thought the video's content was worthwhile, because you linked it instead of the papers directly (which aren't even about DND).
Video is a shitty medium for many use cases, but is popular because it is monetized more, and many people are only semi-literate.
@jjjalljs So very true. I had to invest far too much of my time listening to that before I discovered it was a “scheduling is hard” video and not the “D&D is designed for n players” video that its title led me to believe it was.
