The pivot to video. I yearn for written tech guides or automotive process with well written instructions and detailed pictures. The fact that so much of the info once found in text is now pivoting to some chucklefuck holding his iPhone in one hand while trying to show you how to do a two handed job is extremely aggravating. Don’t even get me started on the need to sift through a 25 minute long tech video because you need to find that one step that you missed.

Video is so fucking low effort and annoying.

    every mofo dev that understands the concepts and wants to teach for ad revenue is stuck doing YouTube videos.

    Bingo! The reason everything is moving to video is not that people want it or that the video medium is inherently better than written text to convey information. The reason is the profit motive, it is easier to monetize videos than text by infecting it with advertising.
