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.

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 1 year 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 1 year 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
