I absolutely cannot stand video tutorials for basic things. Why write the text of a command when you can stretch it out to 10 minutes of video? Perhaps even ask people to subscribe or buy from your sponsor while you're at it.
Oh I am in full agreement. I think its a generational thing though where younger folks might prefer looking in yt first for instructional types of things rather than a QA site.
For what it’s worth, I’m 41 and I often prefer video content. It keeps me on track when my attention span would get in the way were I reading a longer tutorial or manual.
