my pronouns on here are it/its. The point of this video is that most people will not notice democracy ending, and so it will not be a trigger point for anyth...
alt-text: [ a thumbnail of blue text on a digital art wooden background next to the hand holding a rose democracy symbol. The text has multiple variations either saying “you won’t notice democracy ending, nobody notices democracy ending, or democracy ends quietly”]
Just a note on the video format. I usually watch without sound and I’m glad for the subtitles, but it’s hard to follow what you’re saying and looking at the notes you put on the board.
I opened the video on my computer to see if it was a small screen issue. I listened to half then muted the other half. Some personal thoughts, but looking for accessibility guides would be best.
Any reason for embedded subtitles? I think being able to customize them to your own comfort would help.
The extra information / notes should be bigger. I think that’s what I usually see. I might have had issue with complete sentences instead of key ideas.
Present the note before the explanation, that way I have some sense of where you are going.
Speak a little slower or add some pauses between sentences or ideas. This is the first video of yours that I thought the subtitles were too fast, but it will help with your board format.
Tried one last time full screen on my computer, but still the same problems. Information overload.
yes, they were specifically asked for, and closed captions are also available
I will try increasing the size for my next video and see how that works
the point was to summarize it for people with difficulties with short term memory (a lot of the people I work with), and putting it before may add confusion on that end
I was trying less pauses with this one, but yeah might not be as good.
and for information overload, the point is that it is as condensed and short as possible, i deal with a lot of people who need that level of information to stay engaged. This exists as an alternative to those slow 2+hour essays. Ultimately that will likely always be an issue for a good portion of people
It makes sense with the target audience you mention. Would it be possible to provide a transcription? I used to put a link to a free service with the YouTube videos I shared, but it was terribly formatted.
i mean, democracy is a hierarchical idea in the first place so its not like it makes much of a difference to me. I mean in the general sense here though specifically, so I think the tense is fine

well ultimately it is looking at 2 things at once, do you have any suggestions?

well i write out the script and related information in a big document, I could probably share that from a burner account for my videos
Implies future tense. It’s been gone forever
