Yeah, tutorial videos can be great for mechanical, physical stuff.
Learning how to replace the serpentine belt in my car was much easier to just watch a guy do it, rather than read the documentation, and having to constantly go back and look up the name of this or that part to create a visual.
But anything software related? I’m crawling up the fucking wall waiting for the person in the video to finally get to the next terminal command, and stop talking about something that doesn’t apply to my situation.
Also political speeches should be mostly outlawed.
All they do is lie anyways, make grandiose “promises,” and just denigrate people in general. I’d say, “i want the Cliff Notes version,” but I have to believe, “it too is pumped full of ‘resume lies.’”
Fuck video tutorials.
Write it down you lazy fucks.
Edit: There are things for which video is good - stuff that really requires the visual. Which is about 10% of stuff.

Haven’t watched news in decades, print or death. Also political speeches should be mostly outlawed.

I miss the days when everything was either an instructable or a video game guide
