WikiHow and HowToBasic disagree and prove otherwise. The wise thing to do here wouldn't be to ask "is it possible to have a tutorial, any tutorial, let alone the best, for every X application?" but to look up what people asking for and write a guide about that particular thing. Free traffic and ad clicks there and then!

My objective was not clickbait. I want to help beginners to help themselves—that's one of the things that will pay them off in the long run.

After re-reading your article, I think I understand the point you're trying to make, and it's a good one. The headline and first few paragraphs betray the real point you're trying to make though. They convey the impression that you're insulting the people who write tutorials, and the people who use well written tutorials as a learning tool. Hence why you're getting some hostile responses here that are orthogonal to the real point you're trying to make.

You might be thinking of WonderHowTo. HowToBasic is a satirical YouTube how-to channel.
