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.

    Pro tip: When you start a YouTube video and it’s seeming like this, push 3. It will skip you to 30% into the video, which is usually right around when the relevant part starts.

    Here, going by character count, it puts you halfway through the last sentence of the sponsorship, which isn’t bad, though this example is particularly eregious and doesn’t start the real instructions until you’re about 59% through.
