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 was complaining about this at work recently. I can skim an article in 2 minutes instead of watching a 15 minute video. Half of my co-workers were confused by someone choosing to read. Also, same with podcasts - i didn’t need jokes and stupid chit chat - just give me the facts and move on.

      Yep. I’ve reached the point of wanting all information on the internet in Wikipedia format.
