What if I read the transcript in book form?
You're attacking the medium rather than the content. You can learn things from video just as you can a lecture.
Books aren't special. And they can be very wrong too.
So...
You think people walk into lectures completely unprepared, listen for 25 minute, and walk out and they magically have learned stuff?
Maybe you're just still in highschool, or never took a serious class in college.
How it works is:
Do the reading.
Attend the lecture while taking notes.
Review the notes
Then later, after doing this with different topics, reviewing the same information again.
There's a lot bigger barrier of entry, compared to uploading a video to fucking YouTube.
You know what's crazier? There's still a shit ton more reasons, but I already know that even if you have managed to read this far, you can't remember the 1-4 steps without looking back up.
Reading let's you do that, quickly scan the text for what you want and referring to it.
Yeah, I hope you're not expecting a response with a tone like that. Bye
lose the shitty disrespectful attitude or you will be banned in the future.
