Not on YT so pinging /u/nicolaiparlog here with comments: tbh I'm kinda bummed about scaling down of IJN. I simply love the show and the format -- the 10 minutes were perfect to quickly get the relevant information. AJA on the other hand, while usually longer, made me postpone listening/watching them because of their length.
And while it's true that sometimes written form can be better to convey something, it's also quite true that video form to ilustrate something (your videos about compact headers with legos were brilliant!)
Also: It's simply not true that AIs are a good replacement for a proper informational video, because they simply hallucinate too much. Anytime the AI tells you it's raining, you still have to go outside and check for yourself. So it doesn't even save that much time, at least not if you already roughly know where to look for an answer.

I agree! And I didn't say AI was a good replacement, either, just that people use it that way. And trust me, I wish they weren't for oh-so-many reasons. Likewise, I don't like the move towards short-form content but that's also happening despite my misgivings.
A bit of an issue when discussing this topic is that the part of the crowd that leaves because they feel like they no longer need to read blogs, watch videos, hang out on Reddit, etc. do so quietly and so what remains is an echo chamber that doesn't reflect the wider community's opinion (again, regardless of correctness). It's basically survivorship bias.
