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 feel this for very basic things, but then I’ve had to screen record how to click “sign in” for a user so they would understand

      Uhg. My boss wants us to make short videos for everything. About 90% of them could be 2 pictures and 3 sentences. He says no one reads, I say no one watches the videos. We are both right. Everyone wants someone there to hold their hand. It’s annoying.
