    I hate watching videos though too when I can just read instead.

    Is it the anxiety of phone calls in general, and the lack of visual clues?

    That’s not a bash OP, I just don’t care for videos and I hate Google.

    ETA: I prefer reading because I feel like I can better determine bias that way.

      Lol. That was my reaction too. “Oh, shit, it’s a video - close”.

      My issue with videos is that they are too slow for relaying information. I’ll be ok with it if there would be a two-sentence summary, after reading which I could decide if I want to watch it.

      I suspect so that video says it’s that phone calls don’t relay the body language and that makes it more difficult to understand.
