    I often watch tutorials on youtube but I skip ahead a few minutes because I’m thinking “I know this already just get to the point” just to spend twice the time on scrubbing back and forth constantly because I don’t understand why something has happened that was explained earlier in the tutorial.

      This is why I prefer articles!!! Videos it’s hard to know where to go to but articles feels more linear and easier to find the spot I don’t actually know.

        I find videos helpful for getting an overview or hyping me up to do the cool thing but once I need to do the cool thing articles are way better

        Definitely agree! I do occasionally like videos as an accompaniment to an article to show something that is easier to show over text and static images. I prefer the ones with little to no speaking, and they’re usually five minutes or less. (Bonus points if they have those little bookmarks on certain time intervals so you can jump back to a certain part easier.)
