I’m sorry - video tutorials are so much easier for me to learn from than reading. I am 40 and have a disability. It’s far easier for me to comprehend a video than reading - and since I can’t have someone come to my home and teach or show me all the things I want to learn how to do - I watch videos.
I think the issue is corporate greed - not people wanting to watch cat videos and learn how to unclog a sink or watch someone cook something.
For certain specific use cases a video tutorial can be incredibly useful… like replacing specific parts on appliances or cars after diagnosing the problem.
Much of the content there is just noise to me too but there’s definitely some shit I find valuable.
I have already quit reddit, I can live without youtube.
Do Out have time to talk about our lord and savior LibreTube?
LBRY/Peertube master race
The amount of stuff I watched on YouTube was 0.
Honestly it’s about time the internet grows up a bit and stops relying on horrible video tutorials.
Fun fact: people use YouTube for things other than tutorials
Why would we not use one of the most convienent ways to teach yourself skills? Thats incredibly backwards
