    The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. Every code tutorial. Every design tutorial. Nobody actually writes out a guide anymore. It's just "hey guys welcome to my tutorial" and watching 10 minutes of content that isn't remotely relevant...

    @Daojoan I agree. I usually put extra time into searching for text-based alternatives to these videos

            @Daojoan what might help is to try different search engines that focus on blogs and lower the ranking based on ads and tracking.

              And if they do, it's AI slob which starts explaining how to turn on a PC, the history of computers in general, why <your problem> matters. Then there's the solution: click on <menu => option that doesn't exist>.

                Creators profit from YouTube's garbage business model to the detriment of those looking to actually learn anything.

                  once upon a time I lamented about this,
                  explaining the time and energy lost (to make and consult this), the inability to search for keywords.

                  nowadays I getvthe answer 'shitGpt can sum up for you, then search in it'.

                  I quit.

                    @GentlemanTech @Daojoan so much this. I still refuse to listen anyone waffling about when trying to find a simple tech trick, i mute & put cc's on and jump about in a video (if no text-only help available) and when i hit the right keywords start listening.

                    I thought turning video tutorials to text would be the killer app for "ai" but meh. Maybe I should watch a video on how to vibecode a utube2txt .

                    @GentlemanTech @Daojoan @geospaz that's something :)) at least one could find the most relevant video based on the actual content not the title, hashtag, most viewed, taste of "similar" users, etc.

                      @aoe @Daojoan always! And I really love watching making & tuition videos but as entertainment. And some are sometimes to the point but that's not how advertising based platforms work unfortunately.

                        Are you setting up your AI skills.md file so that it only gives you the advertisements and weekly drama you're interested in instead of random ones after you ask it to write out a guide for you?

                            @Daojoan Roots feed the branches, and during any 'leap' change, as has been the computer age, there requires a countermeasure to fill the gap/deficit that's left in said "leap".

                            And as a byproduct of millions of years, of harder physical differentials, placing too much weight on software, and far less on hardware, results in the inevitable asymmetry we're seeing now.

                            May as well be a brain in a vat, while cockroaches inherit your past potential.

                              @Daojoan if it's a video 9 times out of 10 I will not view it. If I must view it, I will not play it, but skip through it as fast as I can.

                              If it's on YouTube? Forget it.

                                        The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. Every code tutorial. Every design tutorial. Nobody actually writes out a guide anymore. It's just "hey guys welcome to my tutorial" and watching 10 minutes of content that isn't remotely relevant...

                                        @Daojoan My brain can very easily retain information I have read in text. I have a very hard time remembering what somebody said in spoken words.

                                          But every information is repeated 5 times, to get the 10 minutes video filled up.
                                          With garbage.

                                          @mjsberna @Daojoan Yeah, because they learned the Old-Tyme teaching adage 'Tell them what you will say, say it, then tell them what you said' and they want to do more of it!🤣
