User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki Video Types and How You Can Create Them/@comment-28991887-20170421002509/@comment-25503930-20170425144942

Hey WEEABXTCH. Thanks for your extensive feedback. Let me share my thoughts with you about the different types of users that you brought up: Our idea is not to influence a "readers" behaviour but to add another option for "viewers" who do not prefer to read. There may also be users who don't consider themselves as just a "reader" or a "viewer", some may vary their preference depending on the topic and their need of information.

Also we found out that there are of course many users (like I guess you) who are working a lot on their wikis and spend a lot of time here as a power user but their behaviour is different to a normal visitor. Sometimes someone just passes by and is looking for an interesting glimps into a topic.

Summed up:
 * Users have different needs
 * Users have different preferences in consuming information
 * Information can be differently displayed

And we think we can achieve a better experience in the wiki with videos to fulfill more of those needs. We don't want to change the user audience and do highly respect our users that create the text content. It is more about adding valuable content that also allows us to declutter the ads. What do you think about that?

And: Can you send me more information when the doubled voice in the video happened? Which browser and version do you use and what you did when it happened? That is something I didn't hear before and I am very interested in, Thank you!
