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.

Text + images is the best combination, though sometimes videos allow you to see that one very specific thing that written tutorials don’t mention because it should be self evident.

[-] Nova_Sempa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So true. For some reason I prefer text, probably because I can search through it quicker but when there's no images its harder.

Like a recent example, I was missing a bunch of collectibles in a game and couldn't figure out what location was where from the wiki and it was without images, so even trickier. I then had to find a video walkthrough which luckily had the YouTube timestamps meaning I could quickly flick through once I knew I had each one.

Came here for this. Maybe I'm just old, but I miss being able to read a walkthrough.

[-] Anemia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Better yet, being able to search a walkthrough. Usually you know parts of the solution and don't have to read everything.

[-] spacehedgehog@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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
