A lot of Youtube videos and podcasts fall into the latter category, so like the author, I find myself getting annoyed about it a lot these days. Rather than spend 10 minutes watching the video, I prefer to spend 30 seconds reading the closed caption transcript.

However, this doesn't mean the former category doesn't exist.
