Title: Ask HN: Are emotional video surprises better than text messages?

Body: I wrote a short piece about why video wishes often feel more personal than a simple text. Curious what this community thinks — does a short video carry more emotional weight?

Here’s the blog post: https://www.softlywished.com

Also been experimenting with very simple text-to-video tools that let people turn their thoughts into a small surprise video (SoftlyWished). Would love to hear your perspective on emotional connection in digital communication.
