Absolutely. You usually don’t need a whole step-by-step 40 minute walkthrough anyway. You need help with a SPECIFIC step and it’s MUCH easier to scroll through a page or CTRL+F the part you need than try to scroll around a freaking youtube video that you can’t search unless you run it through a text transcriber. Not to mention the bandwidth and storage waste, the annoying, unclear voices, the sponsor ads…
I swear people learning most things from youtube videos either have COMPLETELY different brain wiring, or are just straight up insane.
Well, I guess that’s not fair… they might ALSO be lying about learning. That’s the hustle culture, I guess. Learning things is less important than the APPEARANCE of learning things.
They’re not making YouTube videos because people prefer video instructions to text; they’re making them because they can make more money from YouTube than from text. I’m sure loads of people would prefer text.
