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.

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.
