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 don’t want a 9 minute video for a ten second solution. Give me a 1 minute video or a paragraph with a picture, thanks.

    Blame the YouTube ad model for this atrocity. They incentivize this crap.

    When I’m playing a new video game and I google “how to jump” or something simple, I have to sift through entire articles and 10 minutes tutorials, just so I can find a page that will say “press the R3 BUTTON”. it’s super frustrating, not everything needs a video tutorial
