1 My apologies, Clyde Thaviling6482 — that was you in-line comment, not mine. I added the highlight, but it was late and I missed changing my periwinkle to yellow for you.

why does video appeal to non-readers

Video appeals to non-readers primarily because it offers **passive, linear consumption** that requires less cognitive effort than the active processing needed for text. With shrinking attention spans, many find videos more **engaging and entertaining**, providing a quick dopamine hit through visual and auditory stimuli that holds their focus more easily than static words.

Additionally, video is often perceived as a **faster and more convenient** way to absorb information, especially for visual or auditory learners. The medium allows for **emotional connection** through voice and imagery, making complex or abstract concepts easier to grasp intuitively without the need to decode language, which can be a barrier for those with lower literacy levels or learning difficulties.
