Learning how to replace the serpentine belt in my car was much easier to just watch a guy do it, rather than read the documentation, and having to constantly go back and look up the name of this or that part to create a visual.
But anything software related? I’m crawling up the fucking wall waiting for the person in the video to finally get to the next terminal command, and stop talking about something that doesn’t apply to my situation.
Fuck video tutorials.
Write it down you lazy fucks.
Edit: There are things for which video is good - stuff that really requires the visual. Which is about 10% of stuff.
