The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video.

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 what might help is to try different search engines that focus on blogs and lower the ranking based on ads and tracking.
Search My Site - Open source search engine and search as a service for personal and independent websites
searchmysite.net - the open source search engine and search as a service for user-submitted personal and independent websites
(searchmysite.net)
Kagi Search - A Premium Search Engine
Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

Mojeek
Mojeek is a web search engine that provides unbiased, fast, and relevant search results combined with a no tracking privacy policy.
(www.mojeek.com)
The big two trackers (google & bing) actively give big tech and ads supported websites higher ratings, leaving independent blogs in the dust, at page 8.

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.

@Daojoan
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.

@Daojoan @sashabilton True. But there are exceptions.

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 “Could this 10 minute video have been a 2 minute read?”

@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.

@CountHoldem @Daojoan What's so wrong with empowering the cockroaches? They should be given every tool to succeed, lol.

@SnowBlind2005 is this a serious message or a joke, I can't tell.
-
@Daojoan No worries, we now have VibeMaster 2000
to transform video tutorials into badly written and half-wrong written guides!@thomasfuchs point me to it, oh wise one.

@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.
-
@Daojoan
But every information is repeated 5 times, to get the 10 minutes video filled up.
With garbage. -
@Daojoan it's so goddamn infuriating. And you can't search for info anywhere, because all the support/community is only on discord now
I blame Discord on the downfall of the modern web. You used to be able to find answers to your problems easily on moderated forums, where people used to follow the rules of netiquette. Nowadays you need to join private server and scroll through endless spam.
IDK who had the idea of moving the support/community into de facto chatroom that is Discord, but there is a special place in hell for them.

@Daojoan makes me want to make a tutorial video that's just the text of the tutorial slowly scrolling past
