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.

    I’m 100% with you on this one. Text based things are easier to skim and search. It’s dreadful when you’re only missing one piece of a large puzzle, but you’ve got to scan through a long video trying to find the part where what you’re looking for is addressed. It could usually be explained in under a paragraph.

      It’s the ability to search for me! Absolutely infuriating how much time gets wasted skipping around a video…
