I like books but its media in a different form. It could be great or it could be trash. The book format says nothing. I'd consider someone who watches the YouTube channel Angela Collier as more educated than someone who has a bookshelf full of Danielle Steel novels.
sure, but the point is if they don't have any books at all
the former person would and should have books
Someone with no books but watches Angela Collier is more educated than a person with a bookshelf of Danielle Steele.
You know, I'm not so sure I agree, actually.
It is really, really, really easy to engage with content on Youtube passively. That is, without really paying attention.
If a person watches Angela Collier on a side screen while playing a video game or something, and can't really recall anything she's talked about, I don't know if that really counts.
You could say that people who watch Angela corrolate with people who do pay attention, but then I'd say that people who watch Angela corrolate with people who own books.
