Why explain something in two sentences when a 20 minute rambling video tutorial will suffice

See, stuff like that, I don't mind as a video. Videos helped immensely when I was learning to crochet. But things like 'how to enable this feature on this software' that's just a matter of 'click here then here then here', I much prefer written down.

They always talk so much, I just need them to show me how to do the stitch slowly once. That video doesn't need to be 7 minutes long xD

Some of those long crafty videos are also nice to watch in full as entertainment (but then one probably needs to watch again just the tutorial bits to actually learn), but software... UGH

Nothing on this earth has made me appreciate the lessons I learned in my technical writing course more than scanning through a twenty minute video for a thirty second solution

I think social media has destroyed many peoples' attention spans :(

I dunno about attention spans - I just don't want to sit through a 20 minute video of someone waffling for 18 of those minutes before finally showing the solution, when it would be far more efficient and comprehensible for me to just read the solution, had it been written down instead of presented in a video format.

I know. I just think these kinds of things should skip a video altogether, but people want views and likes and subs, and you don't get that from a few sentences of text and a comment box.

Inside you there are two wolves. One says "why say lot word when few word do trick". The other says this toot.

Yeah :( Web SEO and algorithms in general do not favour short tutorial/instructional articles :(

It's like those recipe blogs that always have a long-ass preamble before getting to the recipe; it's because Google ranks them higher than if they just had the recipe.

Sometimes it's interesting to have the long preamble before the recipe or the tutorial. The problem here is really Google pushing those videos in our face when we are just looking for the quick solution.

Google (the search engine) makes more money showing results from its own websites (YouTube) and even more if the the video is long.

So I guess the solution is to stop using Google search. (But duckduck and Bing aren't really better…)
