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 mostly isn't relevant...

Videos can’t easily be indexed to the point where you can just look up a thing inside and go to it
Videos also haven’t got accessibility control over the content, such as making any text shown inside the video bigger or more legible when I want
Video also hasn’t got any idea whether I’ve understood a thing, it keeps going (unless I use pause and replay, but that’s such an imprecise waste of time that I’ve entirely lost track of what I was even watching by then)
Translation is a hack, if it exists, which it mostly doesn’t

Video is retrograde to hypertext, it isn’t anywhere near hypertext yet, it’s considerably far behind

@u0421793 @Daojoan Not for training videos for work. If you do not watch the entire 20 minute video, you do not get credit. Fuck you! I’ll turn it on and go get the mail, park the dog, eat lunch, whatever. I don’t have time for your two-bit productions that try to be funny but just pisses me off for the stupidity of it all.
