Endless Paradigm

A picture is worth a thousand words so a video can surely be worth a million, but sometimes I just want my fucking information right here in my face, so I can skim through it and figure out what the hell I'm doing.

Sometimes things are complex and require thorough explanation but I generally find that I'm not a fucking 4 year old and can figure out what I'm doing from a few lines of text containing an explanation.

I think my hate for video tutorials spawns from my impatience as well as my inability to seek through a video and gather the same amount of information I could from skimming through text. It comes to the point where your simple text explanation was far more efficient than your full length retarded video.

Sometimes videos are nice, but I swear when I'm trying to figure out how to do something simple and all I want is a written explanation, nothing pisses me off more than when I can only find video tutorials on the topic.

Yeah.... I don't like video tutorials either, because the majority of them are very bad quality, and like you said you can't skip through the information to find your answer.

Video tutorials are usually my last source of information which probably means I don't like them either.

I don't like them either... Especially ones on YouTube.  It's usually made by someone who just found out how to do the certain thing that you're trying to do, so they make a half-assed tutorial and leave out a bunch of steps

So I only use them as a last resort...

Youtube is the worse place to go to find a tutorial.I just google what i want to find and put tutorial behind it.It hasn't fail once...yet

I hate unboxing videos more

I don't necessarily hate video tutorials, it just depends on who made them.  Video Tutorials are great, when experts make them.

Depends on what the tutorial is about.
For example, I think a video is very useful for tutorials such as how to pee in public.
