This is especially true for vehicle repairs. Often what could be accomplished in 2 paragraphs and some pictures is instead a 15 minute production you have to sit through to make sure you don't miss a step.

From the position of someone very insecure about vehicle repairs, I prefer the video.

From the position of someone very confident about server management, I prefer the text.

Horses for courses and all that.

I actually prefer the video for that kind of stuff. My gripe is when a 2 minute video is milked out to 15 minutes of background story, affiliate link plugs, and other useless noise.

Yeah, there's some of that, but hey, you can always fast-forward not to mention freeze and replay the interesting/confusing bits.

On top of that (and maybe I'm just clumsy with controls) I can easily jump back and forth and re-read the text a few times if I need to. It's very difficult to rewind the video to exactly the same position you need it to.
