00:00:03,202 --> 00:00:04,692
welcome to hacking Your ADHD.

2
00:00:04,832 --> 00:00:07,072
I'm your host, William
Curb and I have ADHD.

3
00:00:07,282 --> 00:00:10,492
On this podcast, I dig into the
tools, tactics, and best practices to

4
00:00:10,492 --> 00:00:12,382
help you work with your ADHD brain.

5
00:00:12,922 --> 00:00:16,252
And today I'm joined by Sky Waterson
for our research recap series.

6
00:00:16,672 --> 00:00:19,432
In this series, we take a look at
a single research paper and dive

7
00:00:19,432 --> 00:00:23,932
into what the paper says, how it was
conducted, and try and find out or try

8
00:00:23,932 --> 00:00:25,702
and find any practical take takeaways.

9
00:00:25,732 --> 00:00:27,742
In this episode, we're going to
be discussing a paper called.

10
00:00:28,222 --> 00:00:31,402
Shifting the focus, exploring
video accessibility strategies and

11
00:00:31,402 --> 00:00:33,062
challenges for people with ADHD.

12
00:00:33,532 --> 00:00:38,452
So I know that sounds a little bit out
there, and actually, honestly, this,

13
00:00:38,452 --> 00:00:39,802
this paper is a bit different here.

14
00:00:39,802 --> 00:00:42,782
So, um, how about we jump into,
uh, what this paper is about?

15
00:00:43,251 --> 00:00:44,931
Yeah, no, I'd love to.

16
00:00:44,931 --> 00:00:46,311
It's such an interesting paper.

17
00:00:46,311 --> 00:00:49,971
It's another qualitative paper, so
we'll say just upfront, it's not

18
00:00:49,971 --> 00:00:51,561
gonna be generalizable to everybody.

19
00:00:51,561 --> 00:00:55,581
This is 100% about
individual's experiences.

20
00:00:55,971 --> 00:00:57,756
But what they wanted to
do is they wanted to say.

21
00:00:58,776 --> 00:00:59,286
Okay.

22
00:00:59,286 --> 00:01:02,346
We do a lot more video
content than we used to.

23
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:04,776
It's how a lot of people communicate now.

24
00:01:05,496 --> 00:01:10,866
There's been focuses on accessibility
for people who are blind, deaf all those

25
00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:13,356
kinds of things which is really awesome.

26
00:01:13,356 --> 00:01:15,316
But there hasn't been anything on ADHD.

27
00:01:15,816 --> 00:01:19,896
And how do ADHD people
take in video content?

28
00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:21,906
What is the frustrating part of it?

29
00:01:21,906 --> 00:01:23,556
What is the not frustrating part of it?

30
00:01:23,556 --> 00:01:28,086
So maybe before we even jump into it,
you wanna take a minute and just go.

31
00:01:28,626 --> 00:01:30,366
What do I like and hate about videos?

32
00:01:30,366 --> 00:01:34,686
And then see if everyone else is on
the same page based on this paper.

33
00:01:35,286 --> 00:01:39,631
Yeah, that was one of the more interesting
things about this paper was just this.

34
00:01:42,621 --> 00:01:45,141
That this is not something I've
typically thought about, but is

35
00:01:45,141 --> 00:01:50,181
something that definitely affects on
how I interact with certain Media.

36
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:56,451
Because like oftentimes almost
everything that I watch or listen

37
00:01:56,451 --> 00:01:58,131
to, I usually speed up because

38
00:02:00,231 --> 00:02:03,471
for me, I will have thoughts
in between what they're saying

39
00:02:03,471 --> 00:02:04,611
and then I'll get distracted.

40
00:02:04,611 --> 00:02:07,311
And so if I speed things up, it
gives me less of a chance to get

41
00:02:07,311 --> 00:02:08,541
distracted while things are going.

42
00:02:08,585 --> 00:02:09,425
Yeah, seriously.

43
00:02:09,425 --> 00:02:12,755
The only thing I don't speed up is when
I turn on something to go to sleep.

44
00:02:13,415 --> 00:02:14,645
That's usually the only time.

45
00:02:15,275 --> 00:02:15,455
So.

46
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:20,480
Yeah, they, they noticed a few things
based on previous research about redundant

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,700
information, like captions, helping,
needing to stop more things like that.

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,630
And then they went and
spoke to 20 participants who

49
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:31,620
self-identified as having ADHD.

50
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:37,040
So this was not a diagnostic
DSM, they didn't do that at all.

51
00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:39,830
This was people who said that they.

52
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:43,370
Thought they had ADHD, they also
had a couple of other things.

53
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:45,140
It was very personalized.

54
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:48,080
These were long form interview content.

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,310
Shout out to Braun and Clark
again, wonderful New Zealand

56
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:56,510
representation there in terms of
how they did this study, but it was

57
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,670
qualitative and, and quite critical.

58
00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:01,550
Um, really trying to be ADHD focused.

59
00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:05,450
Interesting there too, because
they also like, because of how

60
00:03:05,450 --> 00:03:07,730
they did, they're like, we're not
going to just limit this to ADHD.

61
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:09,630
ADHD often comes with so many friends.

62
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:14,510
They were like, we're gonna have ADHD
here, but doing this strictly just for

63
00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:18,660
ADHD will be hard, so we're gonna just
allow every anything that comes in.

64
00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:19,080
And so they did have.

65
00:03:20,130 --> 00:03:23,760
You With their small sample size,
they did have a lot of other

66
00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:25,545
things that were coming up there.

67
00:03:25,845 --> 00:03:26,264
Yeah.

68
00:03:26,294 --> 00:03:26,594
Yeah.

69
00:03:26,594 --> 00:03:33,014
Autism, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar,
OCD, these were all coming in as

70
00:03:33,014 --> 00:03:35,204
well when they spoke to people.

71
00:03:35,264 --> 00:03:40,124
And they also had, um, you know,
more women than men, which was,

72
00:03:40,124 --> 00:03:44,594
you know, unusual, although
you know, not so much now.

73
00:03:45,194 --> 00:03:47,744
Um, and so they, and they also
had some people who identified as

74
00:03:47,744 --> 00:03:49,064
non-binary, so they were really.

75
00:03:49,869 --> 00:03:54,189
Focusing on qualitative research and
bringing in all of these different

76
00:03:54,189 --> 00:03:56,674
viewpoints to have this discussion.

77
00:03:57,905 --> 00:03:58,235
Yeah.

78
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:02,735
So one of the interesting things that this
made me think about was, I remember seeing

79
00:04:02,735 --> 00:04:08,915
a some post on social media a while ago
saying the real age divide is people who.

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,380
Think content should be in
articles versus people who think

81
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:13,619
content should be in videos.

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520
And my wife and I were like, yeah.

83
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,860
There's times where I'm
like, why is this a video?

84
00:04:17,860 --> 00:04:20,650
This would be so much easier to
interpret if I could just stop it and

85
00:04:20,650 --> 00:04:23,650
just read the stuff I want to read,
and I don't have to go back every five

86
00:04:23,650 --> 00:04:25,270
seconds to get the exact thing I need.

87
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:29,950
I feel like I span that space,
there's a couple of things that

88
00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:33,340
they found in terms of the what
they found in those interviews.

89
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:35,320
Number one is frustration.

90
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:37,870
It was just frustrating
for a lot of people.

91
00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:39,970
They felt they were easily distracted.

92
00:04:40,855 --> 00:04:43,945
They felt that it needed to be more
engaging for them, or they would

93
00:04:43,945 --> 00:04:46,015
fidget, they would get distracted.

94
00:04:46,015 --> 00:04:48,025
It would be hard for them to stay focused.

95
00:04:48,865 --> 00:04:54,745
They also found if they started they could
go down rabbit holes, which I think we all

96
00:04:54,745 --> 00:04:58,135
relate to, you know, video rabbit holes,
watching one, then watching another.

97
00:04:58,695 --> 00:05:02,385
Um, they needed help with,
uh, sometimes they used videos

98
00:05:02,385 --> 00:05:04,665
tactically as background stimulation.

99
00:05:05,085 --> 00:05:07,035
I 100% do this.

100
00:05:08,145 --> 00:05:11,025
And then, yeah, captions
were super helpful.

101
00:05:11,085 --> 00:05:12,555
Was it too slow?

102
00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:14,865
That was another thing that came up a lot.

103
00:05:15,225 --> 00:05:19,185
And then just, you know, wanting
it to be a little bit more, they

104
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,165
called it redundant information.

105
00:05:21,165 --> 00:05:26,515
They wanted more like other ways of taking
in the content as they were watching it.

106
00:05:27,625 --> 00:05:31,825
This is how I structure my podcast
where I'm like do the introduction.

107
00:05:31,825 --> 00:05:33,745
Here's what we're gonna talk about.

108
00:05:33,745 --> 00:05:37,195
We do the podcast, and then afterwards,
here's the top tips from the podcast.

109
00:05:37,725 --> 00:05:41,835
I had a friend that was like, this is,
that's the the Baptist preacher way of

110
00:05:41,835 --> 00:05:46,395
doing a sermon, and it's really good for
reinforcing what you want them to learn.

111
00:05:46,695 --> 00:05:46,904
Yeah.

112
00:05:46,964 --> 00:05:47,234
Yeah.

113
00:05:47,294 --> 00:05:47,864
Tell them.

114
00:05:48,074 --> 00:05:49,694
I think my English
teacher used to call it.

115
00:05:49,694 --> 00:05:51,104
Tell them what you are gonna tell them.

116
00:05:51,104 --> 00:05:52,724
Tell them and then tell
them what you told them.

117
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:55,000
Yeah.

118
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:59,655
And I get why a 62nd TikTok
doesn't do that because.

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,680
It's a even like a seven second
one it's like that's, you don't

120
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,520
have enough time at that point.

121
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,920
But it is one of those things where I
know I've been doing the scrolling thing

122
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,400
and then think back to the last hour
and I'm like, I don't know, remember

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,720
any of the videos I just watched?

124
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:17,960
Or I go, oh, I do wanna go look back.

125
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,960
And I like, look through my
history and I'm like, what?

126
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,020
did I watch 37 videos between those two?

127
00:06:24,984 --> 00:06:26,904
it's always, it's always very awkward.

128
00:06:26,934 --> 00:06:29,664
You, it's very humbling when you have
a friend and you're trying to, you're

129
00:06:29,664 --> 00:06:32,574
like trying to scroll back to be
like, wait, I watched it just before.

130
00:06:32,574 --> 00:06:33,384
I'll go find it.

131
00:06:33,384 --> 00:06:36,114
And then you're scrolling back
through all of these videos.

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,470
It was interesting I think one of the
things that really stood out to me that

133
00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:42,900
I understand and I appreciated is like.

134
00:06:43,485 --> 00:06:49,035
With ADHD, one of the things that was
really helpful was, okay, if you're gonna

135
00:06:49,305 --> 00:06:54,645
explain a concept, for example, and this
isn't always possible we are not all we

136
00:06:54,645 --> 00:06:56,955
don't have unlimited budgets for video.

137
00:06:56,955 --> 00:06:58,280
But if you're gonna explain a concept.

138
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,050
Could we have a picture of
you explaining the concept?

139
00:07:01,050 --> 00:07:02,790
Could we have a visual of that concept?

140
00:07:03,150 --> 00:07:06,270
If you're going to
speak, can we have text?

141
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:10,560
Can we have text that's not too
distracting it's there if we need it.

142
00:07:11,190 --> 00:07:15,060
If you have a long form piece of content,
could we have a chapter headings?

143
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,820
Could we have those
summaries and explanations?

144
00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:24,000
Like you said, it's just thinking
about it in terms of, hey, I'm not

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,420
just gonna sit here and listen to you.

146
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:32,730
Talk And if I am, it's gonna be 'cause
you're in the background and I'm actually

147
00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:34,170
in the middle of cleaning my kitchen.

148
00:07:35,616 --> 00:07:40,876
Yeah, and it is interesting too
with some of the ways that I have

149
00:07:40,876 --> 00:07:42,616
seen video platforms trying to.

150
00:07:43,276 --> 00:07:46,516
The things like where it's like we're
gonna have a story, but in the top

151
00:07:46,516 --> 00:07:49,006
half of the video it's playing a

152
00:07:49,315 --> 00:07:50,165
Yeah, I've seen

153
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:50,460
that.

154
00:07:50,566 --> 00:07:53,356
or it's like subway surfer or whatever.

155
00:07:53,356 --> 00:07:53,836
And

156
00:07:56,566 --> 00:08:00,436
you can actually, like there are tools
on YouTube to automatically put that in.

157
00:08:00,436 --> 00:08:01,906
So you don't even have to do the gameplay

158
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,180
Wow.

159
00:08:03,346 --> 00:08:04,756
just AI generated

160
00:08:04,756 --> 00:08:05,056
and,

161
00:08:06,210 --> 00:08:07,320
it always feels a bit cursed.

162
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,840
I'm not gonna lie, but maybe it's helpful.

163
00:08:12,301 --> 00:08:15,151
The, ones that always get me, like I
have something that's oh, it's showing,

164
00:08:15,391 --> 00:08:19,531
this is an interesting story, but there's
someone in Minecraft jump jumping in the

165
00:08:19,531 --> 00:08:21,601
background and it's making me motion Sick.

166
00:08:21,901 --> 00:08:23,070
Oh yeah.

167
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:23,670
Yeah.

168
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:28,650
And I guess if we were to move away a
little bit from TikTok, 'cause actually

169
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:32,130
we recently did a whole episode on
that, you guys can listen to that.

170
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,440
And we think more about, you
know, maybe long form content.

171
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,160
So say you're at a, you're at a
school or a university or maybe you're

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,810
reading, watching something from
a, you know, a workplace and it's.

173
00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:52,110
It's a big piece of it's a,
recording of a workshop, um,

174
00:08:52,110 --> 00:08:53,700
which is my, my least favorite.

175
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,300
I'm currently in the middle of watching
a recording of a workshop, and it's like

176
00:08:57,510 --> 00:09:00,360
in the moment, if I was there, I'm in.

177
00:09:00,390 --> 00:09:01,110
We're doing it.

178
00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:02,190
Let's make this happen.

179
00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:02,490
Let's go.

180
00:09:03,095 --> 00:09:06,635
Post that, having to watch
the recording, it's in pieces.

181
00:09:06,905 --> 00:09:08,615
I keep having to go back.

182
00:09:09,905 --> 00:09:13,055
It's, there's a lot of preamble
that you have to skip through.

183
00:09:13,055 --> 00:09:14,765
I try and make it as fast as possible.

184
00:09:14,765 --> 00:09:18,725
If there's no option to make it
fast, then I, I, I don't like my day.

185
00:09:19,145 --> 00:09:21,215
So it's interesting.

186
00:09:21,215 --> 00:09:26,135
You know, what, what recommendations based
on this paper could we give to somebody

187
00:09:26,135 --> 00:09:30,785
who has a, workshop recording and they
don't wanna spend a million dollars, but

188
00:09:30,785 --> 00:09:31,990
they do want people to pay attention.

189
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:33,240
there's two sides of this.

190
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:38,460
'cause there's like what the user can
do and what the presenters can do.

191
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:42,870
'cause like on our side of
things like having fidgets and.

192
00:09:44,295 --> 00:09:48,165
Being able to adjust the speed and
stuff are great tools and making sure

193
00:09:48,165 --> 00:09:50,325
that we're not going to be interrupted.

194
00:09:50,325 --> 00:09:55,725
All those things, but yeah, from the
presenter point of view, there's a

195
00:09:55,725 --> 00:10:00,165
few things that like the captions
are a huge thing for a lot of people.

196
00:10:00,170 --> 00:10:03,645
Having that secondary visual
stimulus of I'm reading while I'm

197
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:05,265
doing this, it makes it lots easier.

198
00:10:06,015 --> 00:10:07,455
I actually do that already.

199
00:10:07,455 --> 00:10:11,700
I'll get like an audio book and a.
Physical or ebook version so that I

200
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:13,530
can read and listen at the same time.

201
00:10:14,010 --> 00:10:19,020
Uh, and that having the, those two
formats, I'm like, oh, it keeps me engaged

202
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,730
quite a bit more If I was just listening.

203
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:23,520
Sometimes I will be like, oh, I'm gonna
do this other thing while I'm listening

204
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,780
and then forget where I was doing.

205
00:10:24,854 --> 00:10:26,113
Yeah, 100%.

206
00:10:26,503 --> 00:10:27,313
I think that's great.

207
00:10:27,313 --> 00:10:29,863
And, and I think, you know,
the other things you can do

208
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:31,783
is, you know, where are you?

209
00:10:31,843 --> 00:10:34,633
So, like for me, if I really need
to lock in, I'll probably go to

210
00:10:34,633 --> 00:10:39,043
a coffee shop, sit down, have
breakfast, you know, have a coffee,

211
00:10:39,433 --> 00:10:41,383
and that's when I'll watch the video.

212
00:10:41,743 --> 00:10:44,953
Um, whereas if I'm at my desk, it's
really easy to check my emails.

213
00:10:44,953 --> 00:10:46,513
It's really easy to do other things.

214
00:10:46,998 --> 00:10:51,288
Um, I also have a treadmill, so I'll
sometimes will go on that and watch and

215
00:10:51,288 --> 00:10:54,648
if I do wanna engage in like, bringing
the content, then same thing you

216
00:10:54,648 --> 00:10:59,628
said, like pulling up their workbooks,
pulling up their, you know, now people

217
00:10:59,628 --> 00:11:02,568
have AI chat bots that will like
walk you through what they're doing,

218
00:11:02,568 --> 00:11:03,978
which has been very, very helpful.

219
00:11:04,248 --> 00:11:07,848
We've started making some of our own
actually, um, which has been great

220
00:11:07,848 --> 00:11:13,398
in our program and, um, things like
that so that I'm, I'm engaging with

221
00:11:13,398 --> 00:11:15,198
it, like you said, on, on multiple.

222
00:11:15,913 --> 00:11:16,618
multiple ways.

223
00:11:17,218 --> 00:11:17,428
Yeah.

224
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:20,818
And then another thing that was
just occurring to me was the

225
00:11:21,298 --> 00:11:27,178
presenter side of things is just yeah
having a still camera like we do.

226
00:11:28,558 --> 00:11:31,558
But we, in the videos that I put
up, like we are switching back

227
00:11:31,558 --> 00:11:32,698
and forth between who's talking.

228
00:11:33,283 --> 00:11:37,183
That's the kind of thing that
just that little bit of motion

229
00:11:37,183 --> 00:11:39,403
does create a lot more engagement.

230
00:11:39,913 --> 00:11:40,142
Mm-hmm.

231
00:11:40,693 --> 00:11:45,163
so having multiple camera angles or
at least having perhaps a zoom in

232
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:46,903
at sometimes can be very helpful.

233
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:51,373
One of the fun things I sometimes do when
I'm watching like a regular like network

234
00:11:51,373 --> 00:11:55,963
TV show, this doesn't sound like fun, but
it is just something that occasionally

235
00:11:55,963 --> 00:11:59,923
pops in my head is I will count the
seconds until the camera scene switches.

236
00:12:00,523 --> 00:12:02,683
In my head, it's gonna
be like every 15 seconds.

237
00:12:02,863 --> 00:12:05,322
In reality, it's three, sometimes less.

238
00:12:06,883 --> 00:12:16,033
Which is, it's, I'm like 1, 1, 1, 2,
and I'm like, it's switching scenes in.

239
00:12:16,033 --> 00:12:19,903
Like it doesn't feel like that
because it's just switching

240
00:12:19,903 --> 00:12:21,763
the angle or something.

241
00:12:21,763 --> 00:12:23,443
But it is something that
happens quite a bit.

242
00:12:23,623 --> 00:12:24,673
I was doing it the other day with.

243
00:12:26,083 --> 00:12:29,083
My wife was watching Bake Off, and
I was like, yeah they do it too.

244
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:31,993
Even though this is just a baking
show, they are switching the

245
00:12:31,993 --> 00:12:33,493
camera angle so much to keep our

246
00:12:33,493 --> 00:12:33,793
attention.

247
00:12:34,227 --> 00:12:36,627
Even though it's supposed to be
the most relaxing show, you're

248
00:12:36,627 --> 00:12:38,817
just there to chill and unwind.

249
00:12:38,847 --> 00:12:39,867
That's so interesting.

250
00:12:41,053 --> 00:12:41,353
Yeah.

251
00:12:41,683 --> 00:12:46,333
And so it's something that that's
one of the big differences between

252
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:49,723
like professionally made content
and something that's like those

253
00:12:50,293 --> 00:12:51,943
streams you see online and stuff.

254
00:12:51,943 --> 00:12:52,538
It's oh yeah, this.

255
00:12:54,853 --> 00:12:57,433
Static shot versus something
that's constantly changing.

256
00:12:57,883 --> 00:13:01,453
And because we've been trained with these
dynamic things that are always changing,

257
00:13:01,693 --> 00:13:03,108
that's what our brain is desiring.

258
00:13:03,408 --> 00:13:07,278
the other thing is that having
multiple people, like I really

259
00:13:07,278 --> 00:13:10,308
struggle sometimes when I'm listening
to one person, like an audio book.

260
00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:13,698
If you are running a workshop
and you're thinking, how can

261
00:13:13,698 --> 00:13:14,988
I make this more engaging?

262
00:13:15,348 --> 00:13:18,648
But I cannot hire an editor and
change the frame every three seconds.

263
00:13:18,973 --> 00:13:21,193
Could you at least have
multiple people speaking?

264
00:13:22,393 --> 00:13:27,733
Maybe it could be more like a
conversation or that kind of thing.

265
00:13:27,733 --> 00:13:30,133
So at least there's something
interesting happening rather

266
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:31,393
than just one person speaking.

267
00:13:31,393 --> 00:13:33,583
Because I think that can be really tough.

268
00:13:33,583 --> 00:13:35,773
Like obviously it can be done.

269
00:13:36,103 --> 00:13:40,303
A lot of people listen to you doing
your sessions and then they're great.

270
00:13:41,293 --> 00:13:45,523
When you're speaking on the podcast,
but I think it's, hard for people to.

271
00:13:46,443 --> 00:13:49,653
Just talk and have that be engaging.

272
00:13:50,704 --> 00:13:54,094
And the other thing that was really
interesting that came, I saw in this paper

273
00:13:54,094 --> 00:13:58,654
come up a number of times was the range
of people being like, I really like this.

274
00:13:58,654 --> 00:14:00,604
And other people being
like, that's the worst,

275
00:14:01,864 --> 00:14:02,644
That's so true.

276
00:14:04,355 --> 00:14:06,125
With there being like, oh yeah, the cap.

277
00:14:06,455 --> 00:14:08,285
Having the captions in the
middle of the screen made it

278
00:14:08,285 --> 00:14:09,395
really easy for me to read them.

279
00:14:09,485 --> 00:14:12,065
And other people being like, why
can't the captions be somewhere

280
00:14:12,065 --> 00:14:13,385
where I can actually see what's going

281
00:14:13,669 --> 00:14:14,089
Yeah.

282
00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:14,899
Yeah.

283
00:14:16,009 --> 00:14:19,729
It's also about like people who can
read fast versus people who can't.

284
00:14:20,059 --> 00:14:24,799
So I've I'm a pretty fast reader, so
if I, see a caption, I'm reading the

285
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:29,869
caption, so I can't, for example,
if I'm watching stand up comedy,

286
00:14:29,929 --> 00:14:31,189
I have to turn the captions off.

287
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:36,409
'cause I'll read the punchline before
the joke is made versus people who,

288
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:39,769
maybe read a bit slower and so they
find that particularly helpful.

289
00:14:40,729 --> 00:14:42,679
Or useless 'cause they're
not reading it at all.

290
00:14:43,705 --> 00:14:43,925
Yeah.

291
00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:48,965
Or if it's like a crappy AI

292
00:14:49,909 --> 00:14:51,319
Yes, they mentioned that.

293
00:14:51,979 --> 00:14:53,449
They mentioned that as well.

294
00:14:53,719 --> 00:14:54,799
That is brutal.

295
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:59,029
Especially not just crappy ai, but also
if you've ever watched Japanese, uh,

296
00:14:59,029 --> 00:15:03,259
Netflix, they'll have the English, okay,
this is a bit of a tangent, I apologize,

297
00:15:03,259 --> 00:15:04,909
but they'll have the English version.

298
00:15:05,629 --> 00:15:09,199
And then the English dubbed
version, and they're different.

299
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:13,459
So what they'll say in the English
written version is different from the

300
00:15:13,459 --> 00:15:15,889
English dubbed version if you're watching.

301
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,859
So anyway, Netflix, you need
to figure your stuff out.

302
00:15:18,859 --> 00:15:19,519
There's two different,

303
00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:19,900
Yeah.

304
00:15:20,059 --> 00:15:20,749
Englishes going on.

305
00:15:21,349 --> 00:15:24,859
And there's also separately from
this paper, but what I've seen,

306
00:15:25,549 --> 00:15:29,809
I've seen this online a lot, is
there's a infantilization where

307
00:15:32,449 --> 00:15:35,539
you know, instead of saying
they'll have the regular thing,

308
00:15:35,539 --> 00:15:38,363
but instead of saying murder on

309
00:15:38,413 --> 00:15:39,973
there'll be the, a gun emoji or

310
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:40,273
something.

311
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:44,953
And to be fair, there is realistic
fears about having written

312
00:15:44,953 --> 00:15:47,113
captions, being more censored than

313
00:15:47,767 --> 00:15:51,787
spoken word because, they're
using their systems to go, Hey,

314
00:15:51,787 --> 00:15:52,987
we can read these real easily.

315
00:15:52,987 --> 00:15:55,447
And we saw that you talked about
this word that we don't want on our

316
00:15:55,447 --> 00:16:00,637
platform, so we're going to shadow,
ban your video or whatever it is.

317
00:16:00,637 --> 00:16:04,487
And and that's a real concern for people
who might have that happen more to them.

318
00:16:04,675 --> 00:16:09,985
So in terms of in terms of takeaways
from this and by the way, if you want

319
00:16:10,015 --> 00:16:15,865
a copy of this you can just DM me video
at unconventional organization and

320
00:16:15,865 --> 00:16:18,115
I'll send you the PDFs so you can see.

321
00:16:18,145 --> 00:16:22,015
'cause there's a lot of interesting stuff,
a lot of interesting perspectives on this.

322
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:23,905
And it's, quite a good paper.

323
00:16:24,865 --> 00:16:28,015
But what is the takeaway in
terms of people going okay.

324
00:16:28,810 --> 00:16:31,665
What do I, what am I
learning from this paper?

325
00:16:32,595 --> 00:16:33,705
I think it's just that.

326
00:16:35,565 --> 00:16:38,955
For one, it's important for us to think
about these aspects on our own level.

327
00:16:38,955 --> 00:16:40,035
How are we gonna stay engaged?

328
00:16:40,035 --> 00:16:42,795
How are we gonna try and void
dark patterns and stuff where

329
00:16:42,795 --> 00:16:45,285
it's like engaging us with content
we don't wanna be engaged with.

330
00:16:46,155 --> 00:16:50,715
And then also, how are we going
to, as creators, how are we

331
00:16:50,715 --> 00:16:53,415
going to make sure that we're
being inclusive to our audience?

332
00:16:53,535 --> 00:16:55,169
What are the, some of
the steps we can take?

333
00:16:55,589 --> 00:16:55,829
Huh.

334
00:16:56,475 --> 00:17:01,815
a lot of it's not that hard for us to
do, like including captions including,

335
00:17:03,345 --> 00:17:09,615
making sure that it's visually interesting
and because as content creator, even

336
00:17:09,615 --> 00:17:12,885
though I don't really want to think about
things like that, it isn't also being

337
00:17:12,885 --> 00:17:16,470
like, I want to make stuff accessible
so people actually watch the content.

338
00:17:17,574 --> 00:17:18,024
Yeah.

339
00:17:18,294 --> 00:17:22,824
It gives us, as creators more
information about how people who

340
00:17:22,854 --> 00:17:26,634
are ADHD, which is the people that
we work with, wanna curate content.

341
00:17:26,634 --> 00:17:31,374
And then, yeah, I think for the people
who have ADHD, it's, it's also a way of

342
00:17:31,674 --> 00:17:33,684
maybe giving you permission to try things.

343
00:17:33,744 --> 00:17:35,994
'cause sometimes people, I still
talk to people who didn't know

344
00:17:35,994 --> 00:17:37,254
about speeding up the video

345
00:17:37,794 --> 00:17:38,064
yeah.

346
00:17:38,499 --> 00:17:41,829
Or I will then show someone a video
on my phone and they're like, what

347
00:17:41,829 --> 00:17:43,419
is wrong with what you're watching?

348
00:17:43,419 --> 00:17:44,709
It is like they're jerking.

349
00:17:44,709 --> 00:17:46,479
I'm like, oh, I forgot I had this at

350
00:17:47,828 --> 00:17:48,218
It.

351
00:17:48,429 --> 00:17:51,849
and then I like put it back to normal and
I'm like, oh, this is painful to watch

352
00:17:51,849 --> 00:17:52,149
now.

353
00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:52,928
does.

354
00:17:52,928 --> 00:17:55,868
It does take a minute to get
into the zone of the speed up.

355
00:17:55,868 --> 00:18:00,008
I think when someone else is on
1.5 and you not like understanding

356
00:18:00,008 --> 00:18:02,438
what they're saying right at the
beginning is hard, and then eventually

357
00:18:02,438 --> 00:18:03,308
you're like, make it faster.

358
00:18:03,308 --> 00:18:03,753
Make it faster.
