When I use the internet to learn, I don’t want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.
I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.
I’m old. Learning is hard enough.
I would love to meet the person who speaks faster than I can read :)
The thing with reading though, is that you can skim text to find the relevant pieces and go through it in a non-linear way. Even if a video was short and to the point, I’d still have to watch it from start to end.
