oh, it depends

I understand and agree with you but there are situations where full video is better anyways.

example from life: I needed to teardown old laptop to replace thermal paste and I was following some image guide it was all fine until one part stuck and I couldn't figure out what was holding it. there was no way to figure that out from description and images, I needed to find video.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that ideally you want both, or maybe hybrid? like step by step guide constructed from short looped videos showing you how to do that single step?

I generally agree with you. I would appreciate it if the youtubers that do these would just add the list to the text box they write in anyway. That would help a great deal, since all of it would be right there.

Visuals can be useful. I had to look at one just this morning tearing down an old HP Elitebook 8470p. Here I was removing all kinds of screws, when it's just a battery release sliders move, then the entire panel just slides off. doh.

But, most of the time, I just need the list. I don't need a video of someone stepping through some arcane, obscure and rarely needed AD repair. Just gimme the steps and I'll take it from there. :)
