Text based comments are easier to deal with and will also help boost the site's search engine rankings. The video based ones consume a lot of extra bandwidth and may actually hurt search engine rankings. Please keep up writing.

I will take some text to the gym today and try to get it done. I need to run some experiments and code all morning. Hard to find time, we need to decentralise more and more.

What about switching from WordPress to some other forum software more amenable to making and tracking comments? WordPress seems kind of oriented towards centralized, top-down way of working.
