When I use the internet to learn, I don’t want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.
I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.
I’m old. Learning is hard enough.
I think there’s something to be said for the difficulty in writing a good tutorial. I remember back in the day, before video game walk-throughs, even the text versions were often difficult to decipher.
I also believe we have way more tutorials than we used to have, but the tools for locating good sources are focused more on making money than serving visitors.
“Difficult to decipher”? I honestly don’t think I ever encountered this. At worst, text walkthroughs were too verbose, but that was just because they were passionate single-person projects. Can you elaborate, or do you have examples? Keep in mind I’m mostly thinking of GameFAQs-style text walkthroughs.
