Seriously clueless....

I work in the same field, just another industry... Speed is everything on the web... What is news today, is long forgotten tomorrow... And they are asking nicely that you visit their front page... The greater the clicks, the higher the Alexa, the more they can get for ads...

Btw.. People don't wanna pay diddly squat for ads on the web... So u should be damned stoked they have as many people on staff as they do, travel for coverage as much as they do, and produce as much high quality content as they do...

Why not quit acting like an a hole and give them a click on the main page so they can keep putting out quality content and keep food on their tables?

I'll ignore your personal attacks and blatant ignorance with what I was trying to get across. But I'll play along. It's seems your "same field different industry elitism" doesn't agree with the other numerous people who's agreed with me that they prefer reading instead of watching an interview (which is also different to listening to an on-demand radio show, ie, a podcast). And if this is your idea of someone being an a-hole then the world must be a sad sad place for you, and I'm sorry about that. Whenever I see a post saying check out the home page, I certainly do, but as soon as I see that it's a video then I move on.

Speed and convenience is everything, which is why I prefer reading.

Unless your a one finger typist, typing a 5 minute. Convo takes next to nothing, saves bandwidth (negligible but just as relevant as your points you've brought up), and saves anyone having to deal with vital super shitty media player.

I didn't say anything about paying, or complain about ads, but since you bring it up, in my experience, I'm not paying attention to a add that plays before a video, because I want to watch the freaking video, but I can tell you I've clicked on more adds next to articles than video adds that play before or during a video. Food for thought, I'm only a consumer, but your the expert?

I must be the minority here. I like the videos because I read enough emails/documents/contracts/POs/etc all day to make my head explode. The videos allow me to listen while I multitask and take care of something else.

Why don't you guys go out in the garage, click on the video interview, set your phone down, and then clean your air filter while you are listening to the interview??

The guys at Vital do a great job with all the content. All the content all has to be captured, processed, edited, reviewed, formatted, uploaded, etc. It takes a ton of time.....and it doesn't cost anyone a cent.

That's good man, no objections here that it suits your needs.

Side note, I'd love to be out cleaning air filters but with a broken scaphoid I'm down for a while Pinch

Videos are quicker to finish and be ready for our viewers to listen to. In the online media world, speed is everything. Also, many prefer video to written...personally I like to be able to see the rider's facial expressions and hear their tone, stuff doesn't get lost in translation that way. Lastly, we have a competitor that does transcribe there's so we try to fill the needs/wants of the viewer that doesn't want to read it. But thank you for thinking of us as lazy! It's only 11pm and I'm still packing and working on a big piece for tomorrow...after I dove back and forth from Vegas for Pulp and was in Utah over the weekend for Nitro...ohhh, I also to be back up at 2am to drive to LAX for a flight to Canada for a bike intro...our staff is not "lazy". Smile
Since this subject has come up, let me just give my personal opinion. Not in anyway implying laziness or critiquing editorial choices. But heck, I want the best of both worlds. When I am looking for information, I much prefer written to video. Simple fact of the matter is I can get to it much faster and don't have to hassle with trying to get to a specific time stamp. My preference applies across the board to online information. The tendency of many news channels to rely on videos has simply caused me to look for a news source where it is written. So in the moto world the videos are not that big of a deal as moto is more of a passion/entertainment for me. My ideal method is video followed by a written transcription. With both, I can get to the content quickly and decide if I want to wade through the video. I appreciate the need for speed in online information. Seems to be an editorial choice in balancing speed vs usability. I suspect I am probably in the minority in my preference of written or video+written. Just thought I'd share my personal preference for your consideration.

I wonder if any of the speech recognition programs would speed the process of providing written material?

Either way, keep up the good work I appreciate and enjoy your site and content. Thanks for the efforts.

FYI:

Average speech speed - 110 to 150 words per minute.

Average reading speeds:

Third-grade students = 150 words per minute (wpm)
Eight grade students = 250
Average college student = 450
Average “high level exec” = 575
Average college professor = 675
Speed readers = 1,500
World speed reading champion = 4,700
Average adult: 300 wpm

They pay me to post here. I just need a raise to deal with this shit at this point.

Kidding.

I'm always floored to hear some of Vital's finest opinions on things. I'll watch a race and I completely miss about 80% of the things people complain about. I enjoy the home page just fine and I come in here and the content is apparently lazy. Completely missed that.

I rarely read/listen to interviews in this industry. But only because there isn't much personality . It's all text book answers. Buzz Killington style.

You're butt hurt because he was condescending, yet it's ok to call the guys that produce FREE content for you and a FREE forum lazy? Ok...

I know right, old fellers never whine. The days will never be as good as when you used walk to and from school, uphill both ways eh.

It's people that can't take criticism or opinion without firing back insults that really blow this shit out of proportion.

I'd be interested in READING a review on these. I think I'll be in the market for a wrist brace in 5-6 weeks.

I sincerely apologise you took it as an insult, it was meant to be an interpretation of how uploading a video of someone talking seems convenient for you because you're driving to and from a pulp show, doesn't suit me as a consumer. I'd take it back and reword it if I could.
