Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text.
If your tutorial could be a webpage then you shouldn’t do it.

Edit: to all the people that suggest to make a specific query in the search, that’s just a partial solution because there are times I don’t know the entity of the solution and youtube could be a good place to look for.

    I think the issue is more that many people make bad tutorials. They spend way too much time giving irrelevant information when we’re only interested in the specific steps for the thing we need. Searching for recipes falls under this category, too.

    I don’t care what your friend’s aunt said about the one time you made this recipe. I just want the ingredients, temperature, and cooking time. Your life story surrounding this pancake recipe can fuck right off.
