Funnily enough, I can't be bothered looking at a video becouse I can't glance through it. It takes too long listening to "please like and subscribe thnxxxxxx....." With text, I can quickly scan through, and easily find what I'm looking for.
I’m the exact same way man lifetime of adhd I’m not watching some video of a guy working on my model of car where 40% of the video is filler and visual glitz when I can gladly read forums and expert guidelines that are everywhere and I read fast. Skimming through video to learn without wanting to throw a brick at the creator is weirdly a pain for me often but there are random exceptions like the random dads posting youtube videos with not many views but they explain how to do the service menu and diagnostics on a specific model of may-tag or whirlpool or whatever washers they’re mvps. Especially when the actual brands making them work tirelessly to make that information hard to get and obnoxiously complicated if you even find documentation online. No I will not call a repairman to charge me fuck-you fees lol
