I just can’t with video tutorials. It’s text or nothing for me. I don’t have the patience (or stamina) to sit through 100 crappy/useless videos to finally find one that’s relevant to my problem.
Came here for this. Maybe I’m just old, but I miss being able to read a walkthrough.
Better yet, being able to search a walkthrough. Usually you know parts of the solution and don’t have to read everything.
it’s similar for me. Moreover, I do not use as many video tutorials since there is no dislike count. I ALWAYS checked the like/dislike ratio before watching a tutorial. Good times…
or even when I do find a good tutorial with relevant content that I want to listen to … I’ll zoom right through it scrolling through to only the parts I want to listen to and then listen to it at 2x speed … I don’t have time to listen to your personal stories of what this problem means to you … I’m only here to try to solve a problem your solution can fix in 30 seconds
Like dislike ratio… Hard to find these days.
Bonus: speaks English with foreign accent and your topic is any of electrical or software engineering? +++
Return YouTube Dislike still works pretty damn well using crowd sourced data.
Yeah, YouTube vanced still has a working dislike button, that’s what I use.
The tired voice is the most important part 100%
If there isn’t a sigh in the first 10 seconds I know it’s time to move on.
You suck at photoshop was a hoot.
I feel like a garbage collector sorting recyclables because some idiot put glass in the plastic bin again every time I try to look up a solution to a problem.
It’s either: A. 1,000 word essay on how someone’s grandma died and loved making muffins before teaching you how to make some goddamn muffins. B. 1 hour video explaining the entire history of muffins before actually showing you how to make muffins with an extremely bad webcam microphone.
Try being vegan looking for recipes online, not only do you get the rambling texts with 30 massive images before they actually get to the recipe like every recipe blog these days. The vegan ones also seem to make it a point to get as many weird/rare ingredients as possible into the recipe, (like god damn I just wanted to make a simple chocolate cake, how could you possibly stretch that to 20 ingredients, 9 of which i’ve never even heard about?)
The best solutions are almost always the boring ones.
My “favorite” is when they start every video with “in this video, I’m gonna talk about”. It’s like: no shit, why I clicked on it.
That YouTube tutorial on how to apply Nair to your butthole ticks most of these. The guy is pretty upbeat though.
