Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarf Zagyg" data-source="post: 9773997" data-attributes="member: 7023840">I've touched on on the topic (I'd say briefly, but ... well, you've read me before) here-[EMBED content="thread-698849"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/understanding-history-why-serious-scholarship-of-d-d-matters.698849/[/EMBED]But I think that the original responses in the thread might have been misconstrued- the OP was genuinely confusing to me, although I did want to discuss the Egg of Coot (I'm always up for discussions about the good stuff!). As for youtube, I don't deny that there is good stuff on there, but Morrus recently (and IMO wisely) made it a policy to not allow threads to be just "What do you think about this youtube video?" While the written discussion forum might not be the hot thing on the internet (the pivot to video is long past, we are now into the pivot to AI), there is value in written discourse that lasts longer than ephemeral discord chats, and for the most part I don't come to the EnWorld forums to watch videos - unless the person who posts the video explains in some detail what the video is about, why it is relevant to what they are discussing, and convinces me that I should watch the video.(As a general rule, I find that youtube has some excellent and amazing resources if you seek them out, but they are surrounded by so much terrible click bait slop that I am very hesitant to trust new sources.)</blockquote>
