I don't think having a textual article auto-scrolled and voiced adds anything at all, and people who do want that can do it themselves, and have it set to their choice of accent, speed, etc.

Video links tend to do worse than text links on Lemmy, so you'd probably have been better off all round just posting your original blog post.

Side benefit is that everyone who prefers reading text, can read text, and everyone who wants to hear a robot read it, can have their own robot do that.
