9. Well, a lot of videos are clickbait. It's CRUSHINGLY, ASTOUNDINGLY easy to tell.

I formatted a transcript of a Marc Romano 30 minute video and found one sentence worth of content.

Like I said, the site in the OP is unknown to me, but the arguments looked worth a read.

I can skim text, but not videos.

Almost all videos work with these steps:

1. Get the video URL and paste it into:

https://www.tubetranscript.com/en

2. Copy the text. It looks nice but go to copy and paste and it's a blob, so

3. Paste the text into:

https://sentencesplitter.com/

That's less than perfect, but readable. Copy the text.
NOW, IT WILL EXPORT A NICE DOC FILE,
but there's no way to share a doc file, or even a pdf on DU,
And sites that let you do that are a flakey pain in the ass to use.

4. Get your text from the above, copy and paste into

https://pastebin.com
PASTEBIN will REFUSE to post some stuff (keywords?) so use rentry.co instead.

Get a "New Paste" if it lets you and click on "raw". That usually is the most readable.

Get the URL from the URL bar and share it here.

EASY!! EASY!!!
I actually found a shortcut way on the iphone that's easier, but phones are a PITA to use with DU (posting)
