    What I wish we could do away with on the web is videos. Let’s go back to just images and text

    Seconded. I really enjoyed pre-video Internet.

      I third that. Videos are so incredible inaccessible. Want an easy-to-follow tutorial or heck a searchable document? nah mate video is all you get, and ads with it!

        The ads make it even worse. I totally get the Gemini folks for wanting to simplify. But I do enjoy me a good webapp.

            Well, you can link to images and individual clients can then choose to directly embed those images inline, where the link is placed.

        You do get searchable auto-transcripts of videos now, so that’s a good thing. Some people work better with videos and find them more accessible. Best of both worlds. As long as they are not auto-playing and pre-caching, I’m fine with them existing.
