For some reason I though the goal was to print (with a 3d printer) a 3d projection of the 4d content of the video. That would be cool...

#22Definitely would use this.
Instructional video instead of step-by-step text is a personal pet peeve. I know it's a lot easier to just record a video to show something like "how to replace the battery on a cordless vacuum" or "removing a sink basin nut" but it's often such a painful experience for consumption (watch a moment, pause, scrub back and watch again, pause, continue, pause, all with potentially gloved hands often in tight working spaces).
Re: Now I can just print that video
#23I saw a YouTube video by a guy who specializes in building D&D characters. He spends twenty minutes going into detail on each one, and then makes the pitch for subscribing to his Patreon account with something like "members get all the details in a convenient list so that you don't have to keep going back to this video."
So he's using the same bit of friction that this article is trying to solve, to fill his rice bowl. It's a bit of a shame that fixing this problem for me will cause one for him.
Re: Now I can just print that video
#24This is pretty cool but I'd like to see a well-formatted recipe, not a transcript. I prefer the markdown format for recipes so I worked on something like this earlier this year [0]. It fetches Youtube subs (with no audio processing like the video itself like this project) and returns a markdown with ingredients and steps.

#25I could also need a service for trimming all of the fat from how-to articles.

Maybe if your business model includes putting things in an inconvenient format that could best be replaced by a bulleted list, you should rethink your business model.

Have you considered paying for the patreon regardless because you consume his content one way or another and value it?

I consume hundreds or thousands of creators' content that I value more than this particular channel. If I felt the duty to donate to each one, let alone subscribe, I would consume much less of it and live in a smaller world.
Perhaps it is a rationalization, but I don't feel that consuming content that someone offers to me for free creates an obligation on my part, whether I love it or not.

#29Filtering a video for true content is the real app. Print is simply the format you've chosen to express it.

Another big annoyance is websites with recipes that do any of the following indcredibly bad UX patterns:
- Big white page not showing any text or images until the entire page and its assets are downloaded, which means if you accidentally click something and go back you have to wait another several seconds for everything to load again
- Pop up GDPR popup while hands are covered in flour and eggs
- Pop up "would you like to subscribe to the newsletter" while hands are covered in sticky sauce
- Pop up "buy this shit for 10% off" with a microscopic X button while something on high heat on the stove
- Not specifying image height and width in CSS so that when user is looking at a piece of text and images above it load, the scrolling position jumps
For these reasons alone I've largely stopped looking at the internet for recipes and turned to physical books, which are much better behaved.
