Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text.
If your tutorial could be a webpage then you shouldn’t do it.

Edit: to all the people that suggest to make a specific query in the search, that’s just a partial solution because there are times I don’t know the entity of the solution and youtube could be a good place to look for.

    God I have this with so many things. It starts off with some advertised please like and subscribe garbage and you need to fast forward through the video to actually find the relevant 5 seconds answer in a 10 minute video.

    Even for fucking video games there’s more videos than just a simple screenshot of a map that shows you what hill to run to and where to go from there.

    After which their algorithm keeps suggesting more of these idiotic clips because you watched one.
