Reason:

I will vote Con both on FF, and on inherency. Pro gives many arguments that do apply to why video debate would be better, and Con fails to counter these sufficiently, so I will give these arguments all to Pro. That being said, none of this really matters. The resolution says: DebateArt would be better in video form rather than in text form. Use of the future tense here does imply a change, so if Can prove that it is already possible to do video debates he wins on inherency. This is what he does, and in doing so wins the debate. I also give Con all other points because they were never refuted as Pro only engaged in r1.

Reason:

Con easy showed that pro's case was built on a false dilemma. Plus forfeiture and pro violating his own rules from the description.

Reason:

Con in my view sufficiently proved why text debates can still be used for a video format, and Pro did not counter this at all. Arguments to Con. Neither side used sources so it’s tied. Both sides were understandable so S/G tied. Pro forfeited his last round so Conduct to Con.
