TIL I learned the difference between TED and TEDx.
TEDx events are independently organized TED-like conferences that operate under a free license granted by TED. While they follow the general principles of TED, TEDx events are planned and coordinated by volunteers at the local level, aiming to bring the TED experience to a broader audience.
I also don’t understand it. If the topic is interesting and important enough, write an article about it, happy to read it. No need to add an unnecessary layer of a human presenting it - if that is needed for anybody to listen, then the topic is not worth our time
The gen pop doesn’t want to read articles
Long form YouTube has taken off, not specifically because people don’t want to learn/read, but because people’s time to actually sit down and read something is limited, so long form videos can be consumed while completing another task.
