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.
-youtube is something I’ll use more often I think.
It really is amazing how many tutorials there are for something as simple as “what is the hotkey for x”.
It is annoying. Not gonna lie.
The problem is now is that there’s been a massive uptick in AI generated nonsense on the text side of things. I’ve seen it predominantly in gaming articles but I’m sure it’s getting everywhere.
The real frustrating part is half the time it’s just made up, or offering real solutions to game world problems which has just been a bizzare and confusing read
