As someone who can’t stand the modern trend away from text and towards video, I can’t praise this idea enough. The number of circumstances where a video is better than text with some clarifying pictures is quite small
100% agree. Video can be helpful for supplementary illustration, to show exactly how to orient parts in an assembly, etc. but at the cost of (often) sitting through a lot of rambling monologue that is not.
I haven't tried this yet but it would be helpful if each step included a link to the spot in the video where that step is shown, so that in case you need it it's easy to find.
Yeah. The only way to find some written instructions these days is searching for reddit specifically. Which I'm not a big fan of, either.
I've had multiple instances where I had a simple issue with zero decent Google results, and a YouTube result with literally the exact question I had in the title. I had to sift through 12 minutes of "like and subscribe", a dude clicking around in various screens mumbling some stuff... I would have been very happy with a simple blog post
