I think, to be fairer to the people actually creating the content, you should make a much more obvious link back the original video.

#22As someone who can’t stand the modern trend away from text and towards video, I can’t praise this idea enough. The number of circumstances where a video is better than text with some clarifying pictures is quite small
Yeah. The only way to find some written instructions these days is searching for reddit specifically. Which I'm not a big fan of, either.
I've had multiple instances where I had a simple issue with zero decent Google results, and a YouTube result with literally the exact question I had in the title. I had to sift through 12 minutes of "like and subscribe", a dude clicking around in various screens mumbling some stuff... I would have been very happy with a simple blog post

#27Interesting; this is similar to an idea suggested by a Scott Galloway/Section weekly email.
1) record an SOP using Loom while you narrate, 2) grab a transcript of your narration, 3) feed transcript into ChatGPT to write list of instructions.
Was billed as a way to easily hand off processes to contractors or subordinates.
This seems like a cool riff on that. Neat.

#28I've been looking for something like this for absolutely ages. If I want to figure out how to fix my cellphone, reset a warning sensor on my auto dashboard or more recently install a NAS box, there's always this long winded YouTube video packed full of ads. Thanks for helping cut through this nonsense.
