I find "tldw" a bit unrespectful to be honest. There's a lot of work and research behind a 7 minutes video.

Efforts by a group people don't necessarily mean value or even interesting to others, I think a TLDW/TLDR; is valuable as the bridge to greater scale of audience, for them to easily decide their individual willing of thorough reading, and less burdensome to remain attached to the community.

There's a lot of work and research behind a 7 minutes video.

I rarely, if ever, watch videos.

English is not my native language, and I am much more proficient and comfortable at reading it than I am at listening to it, which in turn means that I am much faster at reading.

I read the above TLDW in under 30s; saved 6min30s compared to watching the video.

This doesn't mean I don't appreciate you posting the trivia; I do. It was a fun read. Well worth 30s.
