I prefer the written word to videos. I can read faster than watch videos, and reread what seems important. Everyone wanting to be an internet video star does not impress me.
I like the quickies but sometimes the subject needs more time. I can appreciate Rick's comment about reading but sometimes "disconnect the red thing-a-ma-jig from the do-hickey" is better understood in a video. Keeps me from having to google "Flux capacitor " to see what one looks like before I can find it.
I think both formats have their place. Some topics can be explained in a short video. Other topics need a deep dive. There can be great value in seeing what is going on or the part you’re dealing with. Either way, having text to back it up can be very helpful.
I voted for both! Hopefully the word “short” will designate it a short video. Or a condensed version of either printed article or video. I noticed most preferred the print version. Some things are just better conveyed . Some of us learn better by watching some things being done. No matter what format you use I’ll be looking forward to it. You should use what you think is best to get information distributed.
I would think you could have both. Record in long format but index the video of all the steps it goes through. (ie. Diagnosis, tools needed, removal, example of where to buy, (paid ad-income) and finally installation.)
Although Bill makes a good point for certain things, I agree with Rick; these days when searching for info, most of what turns up is videos. I guess that's what people want, but text/picture format is usually much faster, more memorable, and better for busy people who want to be efficient.

I'm in the process of migrating to a S&B. What do you think about "sense" (or some other) home energy monitoring/management tool?
Are they worth the cost?
Is there an application to RV's?
Prefer written versus videos. On videos the shorter the better.
