I’m someone who just much prefers reading to watching YouTube — I like being able to go at my pace.

So I was wondering if anyone here knows of any kind of website or app which has long form written content about interesting topics. Thank you! :)

    You’re looking for blogs. Get an RSS reader and subscribe to blogs. Also, of course like others are saying, books.

    I recommend buying the $100 Kindle with e-ink (or any other e-ink reader) and downloading all your books off of libgen.rs

    It’s a one time investment of $100 but you get free books forever.

      Seriously. Get an ebook reader.

      Mine has been my main medium of reading books for the last 8 years. And it will easily last for more than 10 years. And honestly, it’s just better than paper books anyway. Waterproof? Backlight? Font changing? You charge literally once or twice every month so it’s not a concern at all.

      I buy paper books if I really loved it. For basically anyone, IA and libgen is way, way more than what you need.

    I’m not sure exactly what you’re after, but what about Wikipedia?

    Easy to go down a rabbit whole reading on lots of interesting topics.

    I started a community !downtherabbithole for this kinda thing but written content isn’t as easy to find as videos unfortunately. I’m like you and much prefer reading to watching. There’s at least one text link there that’s an interesting read. I think there’s a long-form community on lemmy too, that might scratch an itch?

    I unfortunatly don’t have a awnser but wanted to add I hate how all tech help has moved to video form. Written tutorials have then benefit of being clear and able to follow at your own pace.
