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.
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
Very true. So many times I find a 5 minute video playing some awful music with text instructions on the screen on how to solve X problem.
As much as I hate stackoverflow, it can be a good source at solving issues.
