Video title: “How to unlock the demon door on the fourth level of Demon Smasher Elite”

“Hello, video game fans! Don’t forget to like and subscribe! Last week I posted a video that isn’t relevant to this video, but I need to drag out the time on this one to game the algorithm, so I’m going to rehash and plug that video. I’m going to shout out to my Patreon subscribers with ridiculous usernames I won’t pronounce well. Now let’s get to the part you’ve waiting for: I’m going to play through the entire thirty minutes worth of level four before you get to the demon door and I will stop to make useless commentary on the bad guys you encounter. Okay, now you’ve skipped forward to what looks like the area before the demon door part of the stage, but I’m going to talk about some unrelated anecdote about this game or maybe the game devs, and then plug my Patreon account and mention a completely different game that I’ll be streaming next. Oh and here’s the five seconds of the video you wanted to see when I tell you to click the right mouse button on the hidden lever next to the demon door in order to open it, except you aren’t seeing it because you skipped forward too far and gave up. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! This video has been brought to you by Nord VPN.”

Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.

1996 is on the latter end of what I consider the early internet, but I really miss the Video Game FAQ Archive (GameFAQs) which was murdered by a thousand cuts culminating in the death of the gamefaqs.com domain. FAQs used to be so good, these days the same information is dispersed over 50 pages of an HTML “guide” that is more ads than information, and often for less complete information, if it’s not just a YouTube video that’s even worse and shows you things but doesn’t explain them at all.

Wikihow is pretty good. Most offer a written and illustrated article as well as a video

Same. I missed those days where you can just control F to the part of the page and get the info you wanted. Now it’s wait for 2 ads to play, scroll through the intro and then a bunch of scrubbing to find it.

Has writing really become that hard to do?

It’s probably more to do with discoverability and monetization. I’m generalizing a ton, but I feel like there isn’t even a ton of super useful YouTube tutorials outside of beginner content because that gets the most views.

YES, this is such a peeve for me!!! I’ve developed an aversion to viewing video content unless it’s for something I truly need to see done. And even then, I’m more likely to check wikihow and endure their gifs than I am to watch someone’s video. It’s just so overdone.

@bstix damn, I thought I was alone with this. It’s incredibly frustrating that everything is a bloody YouTube. My theory is that people dream of those €€€s coming in from viewers.

deleted by creator

@bstix Yes. Also when you’re blind, software tutorials in particular are either 15 minutes of nothing but music, or someone going “to do x thing, all you need to do is click this button, drag this slider to here, click this until it says this, type this into there, and you’re done.”

@bstix @Provider 👏👏👏👏

I have resorted to going to the YouTube video page and reading the garbled bot translation underneath because it’s still better than sitting through a video with a bunch of filler.

@bstix @Provider Strongly endorsed. For me, watching a video is possibly the least-effective way to learn how to do something. Learn to write or find someone to write for you if you want me to use your stuff.

@bstix

YES. And when you find a written version you have to scroll past a mile of backstory to get to the point.

@bstix soon will be very hard to find written ones that aren’t done by AI and full of dubious info.

@bstix @Provider video is better for certain things, but does not replace a written tutorial at all. If anything, they complement each other.

@bstix A friend once said “videos are for marketing; text is for instruction” and it made it all make sense.

@bstix
I couldn’t agree more. I want a manual. A text. But I don’t think it’s writing that’s become hard to do - a lot of people just really hate to read.

@bstix @Provider This! I’m not sure who is more at fault. Is it that writers don’t want to write or that readers don’t want to read (causing writers to shift from writing)? Either way it is torture. I’m a fast reader. Videos go at their own agonizing pace. Who thought this was a good idea???

@bstix @Provider I was trying to work through an online class on Python, and every hour video included ten minutes of encouraging the viewer to keep at it, and five minutes of lame puns. The actual instruction was fine, but text would have been much easier.

@bstix @Provider

It seems so, and this is not good because many times written tutorials (including technical ones) are better.

@bstix @Provider Agree, provisionally. I mean, I do a lot of stuff where the visual element makes a great big honking difference & if someone tries to describe it in words & aren’t absolutely amazing at it, meaning can get really lost in written directions.

On the other hand I absolutely adore the printed how-to book that came with my 50’s sewing machine & it is, in fact, very meticulous in describing the physical situation (OK, it also has some drawings) 😊

@bstix couldn’t agree more!

Most of my students preferred video, even if with very few exceptions slides + text was better for them (for the stuff we did).

Also *good* video takes forever to make, good text+image tutorials slightly less forever but the search is much easier!

@bstix @Provider I wish the videos would all simply have the written directions in the description so regardless of how a person absorbs best it’s there.

@bstix @Provider I’m guessing a big part of it is that writing blog posts doesn’t pay ad revenue these days. Also most text tutorials are drowned out by algospam and your content will probably get scraped and reposted with better SEO and worse ads the moment it’s out. :/

I love Whisper for this. Turns these videos into nice transcripts that I can search through.

deleted by creator

@bstix @Provider it really makes it hard to learn at your own pace. Rewinding the same part of a tutorial video over and over again to get what a particular section is saying is just tedious compared to a quick Alt+Tab to reread a paragraph.

@bstix @Provider hear hear. Fucking video tutorials… they always skip over the one tiny thing you need to know …

@bstix @Provider
Heard on NPR this morning, that UNESCO has declared “computer learning” ineffectual. It goes with a study I read some years back that showed that retention is poor when reading from a computer screen instead of textbooks containing the same information. Physiologically speaking (brain function), a textbook provides tactile and spatial memory “hooks” that the sameness of a computer screen does not, that enable superior recall at a physical level. “Muscle memory” if you will.

@bstix @Provider it drives me insane that I can’t type text into a box and have an article come back to me. I’ve found videos that explained a thing beautifully, and then I can never find it again because the phrase I remember wasn’t in the tags.

@bstix @Provider
Totally agree, it’s awful. I recently noticed that the YouTube android app seems to have built in auto-transcription that is often (but not always) searchable. I haven’t been able to find this on the desktop webpage, only on the mobile app.

@bstix @Provider sometimes I want a video to walk me through it and *still* get irritated by trying to drop it in exactly the right spot 50x to execute the steps. . . Give me written instructions any day. And link to the damn video.

@bstix @Provider Same. I hate video tutorials. I play a lot of video games and sometimes I need to look something up, which sometimes means I get lucky and someone has written a decent walkthrough down, but often times means I have to start and stop a damn video over and over and over to get the information at the pace I need.

@bstix

I know what you mean. “-site:youtube.com” has become part of a lot of my Google searches.

@bstix @Provider I read considerably faster than people talk, so written information is a lot faster for me to get. Written tutorials are way better too because you can easily re-read difficult parts.

Yeah, you could skim pages, or read thoroughly, search in the text, easily jump back to the previous paragraph to skim a bit again, google (or DDG) for terms you remember from an article to find it again, etc.

Not just tutorials, I enjoyed reading tech or product reviews, like the original Anandtech when Anand was there, that all seems to be going the way of obnoxious youtubers.

@bstix @Provider @benjiweber

You also can’t “copy and paste” code from their video screen.

@bstix @Provider not to mention the dreadful wait to see whether this tutorial is even applicable to your situation 🥴​

or when something is updated but you still only find videos about the old version because videos can’t be edited after the fact 🥴​🥴​🥴​

@bstix @Provider I was one of the guys who used to write those, for Microsoft and others. I was at Microsoft when the boom dropped and most and most written documentation projects in favor of minimal on line help files and CBT (pre-video scripted feature demonstrations. The project (the Word for Windows technical manual) was shuffled to Microsoft Press, which didn’t want it, leaving me in the middle. Fun.

@bstix @Provider @gvwilson writing is as hard as it ever was, but monetization of ad-hoc tutorial content is far easier and more lucrative on youtube. People are literally being paid to pollute your search results with video.

I’m actually optimistic; I think eventually youtube will face too much flak for this kind of garbage, it’ll start affecting viewership, they’ll tweak the algorithm or the partner program to punish bad tutorials and there’ll be a renaissance of the written stuff.

@bstix best example ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ZTGpRMU04

@bstix @Provider

Well, we write detail rich, history filled, alternative versions presented tutorials and how tos all the time on CoffeeGeek.

They can be found here:

https://www.coffeegeek.com/guide/howtos/

@bstix
@Provider @bursaar Agreed! There’s no CTRL+F on a video, either!

@bstix @Provider oh god I hate it when I try to look something up and the only thing I can find is some awkward person going “so uh, you uh, click on this and then, uh, type uh that.” Like why can’t they just type somewhere in a blog or forum or something “type X in a console”?

@bstix @Provider Trying to copy snippets of code to try / adapt out of the video sucks as well. I often don’t need/want to download an entire sample project from a link in the description.
Plus, given time constraints, I occasionally try to grab a few moments for tutorials while hanging out with family, sitting at a restaurant, or whatever else, so I’d have to watch videos muted as well.
Definitely always look for written form.

@bstix It’s that writing doesn’t earn money like YT does. :(

@bstix 💯 embedded videos forced to fit into 256x256 pixels where you can’t read shit.

@bstix @Provider I can’t see any of the responses (must be a mastodon thing) but I can tell you that this not the first time I’ve seen this complaint and it has had an impact: I had several tutorials to produce this summer and planned on doing them as videos. As the summer approached I saw comments like this and switched to blog posts instead. So, I just wanted to let you know you’re not shouting into the void.

This is one oft the longest Threads I’ve eher Seen in lemmy.

@bstix @Provider I love Instructables.com

@bstix @Provider I’m dyslexic and even I can’t stand these Youtube tutorials. The irony is probably that the script they write to make said tutorial is likely many times more useful than the tutorial itself, just because it’s a video…

@bstix @Provider

Oh gosh, this! I am way better at picking up what is relevant to me in a text article while scanning a text than waiting for thing to happen in a video. It’s so infuriating sometimes. Also, video streaming is using so much data that I would rather not do it when I am using mobile internet… So yeah, bring back text based tutorials…

@bstix @Provider I’ve been a programmer for over a decade. I inevitably spend part of every day searching the web for very specific or very general problems. Not once have I watched a video to find those answers. There is nothing more boring than watching someone else write a todo list app (seriously, stop making these) for exactly 10:01 minutes.

@bstix

OMFG this so much. Especially since most tutorials are ponderously slow and tedious. At the other extreme, are the ones with no subtitles and no sound where you are expected to follow a cursor flying around the screen clicking on things and are supposed to understand what happens. Those in particular should die in a fire.

@bstix @Provider Writing was always hard for most technical people. Technical writing was always a nightmare to read. Noone has ever cared about language.

Bad Videos are just easier to produce than bad written docs, and they don’t reflect back to you as bad as bad written docs do.

@bstix The ones that annoy me are the youTube videos that are text on the video but just a music overlay… no verbal instructions at all and since Ic an’t see the video period it is useless to me.

Written tutorials are not hard to do, but before I tell you what they are, just a reminder to like and subscribe to this post, it really helps me out.

Now let’s dive in!

Written tutorials are just not as easy to “monetize”

Has writing really become that hard to do?

The cynic in me says yes.

@bstix @Provider God yes. I recently bought a bottle of rum that has a ridiculous ball valve built into the neck so my first attempt to pour it yielded nothing. Googled it & a YT video came up—something ridiculous like 7 minutes or longer—that could have been handled by a single sentence on the label. (Or better yet, not using a ball valve)

@bstix @Provider

I hate YouTube tutorials. Because I can read a lot faster than the tutorials can speak.
I am also perplexed by the rise of audio books. It is not a good idea for a driver of an automobile to listen to an audio book. Otherwise I do not see the point

@bstix everyone wants to be a movie star

@bstix @TechEnthusiast 100% This is especially annoying when I’m trying to find out how to do something in Python or whatever programming language I happen to be playing with. I am blind and use a screen reader. If the text is written, I can review word by word, line by line, character by character, ETC. This is important when trying to learn programming.

@bstix @Provider Chances are three video doesn’t contain the answer anyway. It’s all about monetizing your tech support needs.

deleted by creator

@bstix @Provider same for most other written content. Everything is a Podcast these days … very annoying as you can’t search for content in those …

@bstix @Provider yes. Writing really HAS become that hard to do…and it’s difficult to monetize 3 paragraphs.

Kids these days…

@bstix @Provider YouTube provides ad revenue in a predictable way; there is no equivalent platform for written conten

@bstix @Provider Not that it has become hard to do, just that it is easier to monetize a popular video I guess

@bstix
Might be more of a “reading is too hard” problem. I know a lot of people who don’t like written manuals/tutorials, and a few who refuse them altogether.

Over the past few years I’ve adapted to this stupid trend by watching videos at max available speed and skipping like crazy. It’s a bit like skimming a page - still stupid, but I can usually distill a 10 minute video down to the usable minute quickly

Also, unlike 14% of the USA’s adults, 99.8% of Ukrainian adults can read, meaning even a country that hasn’t even finished being shot to pieces, losing its dams to explosions and its restaurants to huge hyper-sonic missiles reads more than the USA! Excellent determination to read, Ukraine!/pos

@bstix @Provider
All of this. Been arguing with my boss about this for years. In the time it takes to make a good video tutorial, I could write it with screenshots more quickly. And the SEO value would be better.

@bstix @Provider I didn’t think we could do worse than “documentation is a YouTube video now” but “documentation is a Discourse instance now” is much, much worse

@bstix @Provider In the tech publishing industry, a lot of folks bought into the Facebook-sponsored lie that Millennials don’t read and only watch videos.

Pragmatic Bookshelf still has some great tutorial-based books, and DigitalOcean has excellent free tutorials on a variety of tech topics. (Disclosure: both of those are former employers of mine.)

@bstix if people don’t read articles, more than “hard”, writing has become not sustainable.

@bstix @tito Smash that subscribe button! LOL

@bstix @Provider I suppose it’s hard to earn money on written tutorials. And everything is about earning money nowadays.

@bstix I MUCH prefer to read tutorials/manuals that watch videos, for pretty much similar ratings to those you raise.

@bstix @Provider I tend to put the subtitle on. It’s easier then to find the relevant piece of information.

@bstix @Provider Absolutely this.

@bstix @Provider Writing’s not harder to do - rather, publishing good video content requires a bunch of expensive equipment and editing software _in addition to_ the writing (you can’t publish decent video content without writing a script…).

But writing is harder to monetize.

I miss when people put their stuff out there without angling for ad revenue.

@bstix @Provider I support that. In any case, the right arrow key is your frield :)
Most 15 minutes youtube tutorials could also be condensated in 20 seconds, but you know… advertisement…

The ‘30 seconds of acting like jester’ in the intro and outro annoy me the most. Have a Dislike, I’ll move on.

@bstix @Provider When I do use a video to learn I am a fan of the double speed option or sometimes 1.5x if they speak a bit faster.

@Provider @bstix It’s even worse for those of us who can’t see the screen. Oftentimes Youtube tutorials rely heavily on visual graphics and screen grabs which are barely even alluded to in the narration, if at all. This is a serious disadvantage to blind folks like myself.

@bstix @Provider
This!
(Also I dislike video as a medium. It’s too easy to manipulate the viewer.)

@bstix @Provider Good technical writing is expensive. Bad technical writing is ineffective. Video is cheap and gives the illusion of being useful.

@bstix @Provider agreed. Also online courses like Udemy, often only give you the video content. Would prefer some of the more important bits to be in a handout PDF at least

@bstix @Provider I agree with this 100%!

@bstix I’m so, so glad I’m not alone in feeling this way. This is why I will always read the transcript of podcasts and videos if
available.

@bstix @Provider this is part of why I’ve started publishing my own tutorials to the web.

@simon @bstix @Provider hard to write? no. But most people no longer read. So… tutorials become movies, t seems toe easily attention than written text, sadly

deleted by creator

@bstix @Provider People are still writing, but that isn’t what Google wants to show you.

@bstix @Provider For a number of years I went into writing those after market user manuals but the market for those collapsed too. Nobody wants to pay for written docs any more, ESPECIALLY the people who make the software. YouTube is the major outlet now.

@bstix @Provider Flip side: I started a project to teach people obscure skateboard tricks (blatant plug: www.freestyletricktips.com). I wanted to cover both sides, so I made videos, took screenshots from them, and made a website to write detailed information that was easily skimmable, searchable and translatable.

Something like 90% of the audience go straight to Youtube - and then ask questions covered on the website! It’s maddening.

@bstix I usually run youtube tutorials through https://github.com/obra/Youtube2Webpage to convert them to a usable format.

@bstix @Provider no, writing has always been hard. However, a video is easily monetized whereas a text post is not.

Welcome to late stage capitalism.

@bstix @Provider Yes!

@bstix @Andrewhinton So say we olds.

@bstix Sometimes it really is easier to show than to tell. Video tutorials make a lot of sense for navigating complex bike maintenance procedures. Much easier than reading the documentation provided by SRAM, for example.

@bstix i totally agree with that. videos are ok if they demonstrate how to do manual things like repairing a bike chain or drilling holes or even cooking things. but with cooking the usefulness of videos ends. mostly a written receipt is much better, more informative and faster to get than a 20 minute video of how to make pancakes. and videos that imitate computer tutorials are absolute nonsense. maybe for repair work like switching ram or installing some hardware, but even then i’d prefer a written instruction. you can’t really fast forward videos but you can easily skim a text or search for special words in it.

@bstix @Provider I really dislike video tutorials, when I can read the same content in much less time. I always wind up taking notes, since that way I can remember what was said.

Other thoughts (from the days of tape)- fast forward, or speed up play time. Then pause, and take screenshots.

@bstix @daviddlevine 💯 And you didn’t even include text searchable!

@bstix That’s the wrong question. Putting tutorials online instead of providing printed tutorials is one of the ways organizations cut corners and cut costs. Now, watch people normalize their experience by responding to you, “YouTube provides transcripts!” And they do (go to a video, click the three dots icon under video on right, see “Show Transcript” link) but a transcript isn’t usually written by a professional tech writer.

@bstix @Provider My favourite are video tutorials that are about written things, like terminals. Yes, I would much rather squint at your blurry video to figure out what you’re typing at 6:59 than just copy and paste the answer.

YT-Tutorials are like Voice-Messages … more important for senders as for the “audience”.

@bstix Oh my god yes. I spent $60 every few months on one of those thick-ass “How to Adobe Photoshop” books with an included CD, and worked through the tutorials chapter by chapter, and that’s how I learned every computer skill until the early 2000s. Textual tutorials that are well-written and well-edited are POTENT because they deliver skills into your head as quickly as you can absorb it.

Bonus: *paper* books have the advantage of sitting NEXT to your computer and not taking up a third of your screen real estate, which was super important 30 years ago when screens were tiny.

@bstix @Provider a thousand times this!

@bstix @Provider I’ve talked with several people who have multimillion follower accounts on youtube, and their experience is just like mine: you can spend x amount of time on writing a detailed blog post with pictures, or you can spend 3x that time making a video, and the video will get at _least_ a thousand times more viewers than the blog post.
One of my videos has gotten approximately a quarter million more views than everything I’ve ever written online, combined.

@bstix I feel like the basic unit of communication for young people now is the video and not the written word. IMO it is inferior but so it goes…

@bstix @pluralistic
No, it’s just that writing doesn’t have the same opportunities to make money by plugging your sponsors or shilling for your YouTube channel.

@bstix I absolutely prefer written tutes, but youtube makes it easy to get paid for content, so there is incentive to favor video. Those of us who prefer the written form need to think about how to achieve similar compensation for a given time investment by creators.

@bstix agree. The reason is even sader.

Web-Search (google) is broken. It was okay. Now it’s not anymore. You never find written tutorials. All you find is SEO BS with affiliate links.

YouTube search still is kinda okay. Therefore you/we get better results there.

Side note / small hint in the meantime: when scrubbing the video look at the location that’s most popular. That’s usually the interesting bit.

@bstix I HATE written tutorials. They have their place but I’d rather someone physically show me something than me reading up on it and oh I did it wrong cause I don’t understand what they meant.Videos can be slower but they are more clear on what to do and how to do. I can’t get a frame of reference from a text description.

@bstix @Provider it’s easier to monetize a YouTube channel?

@bstix @Provider A 3 minute video where someone shows you how to change your car’s headlights does tend to be better than a text description.

But it’s no longer a 3 minute video. It’s 25 minutes with a 5 minute sponsor segment, 15 minutes of faffing about, 3 minutes to plug pateron, 1 minute of intro and outro, and then 1 minute where they show the changing of the lightbulb but they cut away to a wide shot so the host can be shown clowning around and you can’t tell what he did.

@bstix @Provider I couldn’t agree more. Stop wasting our time with videos when well-written tutorial is way better.

Other video peeves: background music too loud, person in vid trying to be a comedian, insufficiently rehearsed (“Umm, er, uhh, now take this wire and uhh … what was I doing? … umm … how come this isn’t working? …”), etc.

@bstix
As a technical writer, I can’t agree more. Video tutorials are time sinks for most topics. I absorb a lot more information if it’s text I can refer back to.

@bstix @Provider i think i like a mix of both, a written tutorial with a video just in case you cant understand something, tho yeah it’s becoming harder and harder to find a written one, thats why usually i just go to the comments and seek if someone has the same problem as me LOL

ONLY time video is better is when it’s a navigation guide. Like for a game.

Much easier to find that hidden bonus item if you follow a video than to try to follow a description.

@bstix @xjki nobody pays for writing. YT pays for views.

@bstix @Provider it mostly comes down by putting it on youtube the writer/presenter can be paid for it.

@bstix @Provider Don’t forget that the first minute of the 3 min tutorial is bumpf promoting the channel.

@bstix I have watched some very good video tutorials on how to do stuff in Excel and how to make things in wood. But I agree that it does depend a lot on the person doing the video, and the majority are really bad and to be avoided

@bstix @Provider

Or how they waste your valuable time begging you to subscribe, click the bell, become a patreon supporter, which really is just padding to get the time past a certain point for monentization, and they also need the subs to achieve that goal.

@bstix @Provider Half of it is SEO garbage and no substance. The other half is written by people who’re apparently completely incompetent.

@bstix @Provider text land is flooded with generative garbage (ex: recipes), so videos are now the only way to be sure you’re looking at human content … for now.

@bstix @Provider This and onobstrusive javascript.

Ugh yes I completely agree.
Especially when you have to pause the video to see the exact command being typed, and then you have to manually re-type the same (complex) command, rather than being able to cut-and-paste. ☹️☹️☹️
