I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I’m trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don’t want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.
As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.
Agreed, except youtube is great for any guides on stuff like vehicle maintenance. Want to know how to do something on your car? It’s almost guaranteed there’s a youtube video walking you through the whole process.
Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it’s something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.
If you hate the content, find out other types of content that does work with the short videos. Surely you could find some kind of use from it? From the videos being short it has time saving potential particularly I can see that atleast.
