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.

    Ah, yes, another unpopular opinion. Look at all the commenters explaining why they’d rather watch 1 hour of fluff than read 5 minutes of instructions and completely disagreeing with OP.

      “Unpopular” doesn’t only mean that the internet is supposed to split in half and cause a civil war once you say it, it only means “It is not common among most of the people”.
      Which is true since there’s a shitload of people uploading a shitload of shitty tutorials every shitty day.

        That doesn’t make the opinion unpopular. There are a lot more people who hate this shit than there are people making the videos. The vast majority of people, I’d say, which makes this an extremely popular opinion.
