# YouTube video vs a book
- A book take years to write
- A book is often reviewed, goes through an [[Evolution|evolutionary]] process
- Many books are [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Lindy Effect|Lindy-proof]]
---
- A YouTube video is never [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Lindy Effect|Lindy-proof]]
- A YouTube video is rarely reviewed
- A YouTube video is done in a few days
Of course YouTube can be replaced by software (podcasts, blog posts etc., **even this fucking note is garbage compared to a book, why are you reading this?**)
Do you see, [[Signal]] vs [[Noise]]?
I'm exaggerating though, some videos are worth seeing, you can't find some [[Information|information]] in books, say,
