    This is my reaction anytime I Google virtually anything. Stop fucking recommending videos, Google. We’re not fucking interested.

      You are not fucking interested. We, as Google’s customer base, want everything in video format because we are allergic to reading. If it pisses off 1% of users (which is ten of millions of people), so be it, still profit.

      I’m with you. This shift over the last decade or so to everything being in video essay format is infuriating. Especially when I’m trying to look up instructions for something that could just be a five item bulleted list or a single image but instead is stretched out into a ten minute video.

      There have actually been a few times I’ve given up on finding some piece of information or instructions I wanted because I could only find video sources.
