I hate this trend of making a video out of every bit of information or tutorial you can find. Videos are slow, I cannot properly skip forward to the part I need and the people making these videos are hellbent on not editing out their mistakes to "be more genuine" or something fucking stupid like that.

I want some good old text-based guides. I want docs, READMEs and the like. I don't want to hear you coughing and spitting on your ultrawide monitor for 30 minutes only to find out what I need to know is in video 4 of your ongoing paid series.

    Yeah, me too. I learn faster by reading than by watching videos.
    I also like to read while waiting (for bus, appointments) so switch to watching videos in public is not comfortable for me.

    Plus often videos are blocked on work machines

    I was thinking - partially to help my messed up teenage brain focus on learning - I should start posting text versions of those stupid video tutorials for every major programming thing I like.

    For example, Godot, the game making engine. Real cool, but I can't learn it by video.

    No, I'm not making money off this:)

    @witcher Sounds great. Just be careful about things regarding copyright. I don't reckon every tutorial creator would be keen on you translating their tutorial, paid or not.

    At least you can play videos at double speed.

    @nibor respectfully, wtf

    The trend of creating cool videos is gaining momentum, and I'm no exception. I'm currently learning to do remove background video no watermark using https://depositphotos.com/video-bac... It's a fascinating process that allows me to explore my creativity and produce captivating content.
