MODERATORS
I don't know if it's just anecdotal, but it feels like a lot of content is moving to Youtube. People make a 10+ min video out of what used to be a paragraph on a wiki site.
Call me an old geezer, but I can’t stand videos for about 95% of all video game guides. They are either too slow or too fast, and include 10 mins of talking for “and the hot key you are looking for is H”.
I can't stand listening to them. 99% of people doing these videos, any videos, on YouTube have no concept or idea of how to actually talk properly to an audience. I don't want to have to skip through someone fucking mumbling in an indecipherable accent to find what I need.
Give me written instructions/guides. It's faster, I can re-read easily at my own pace (fast!) and I don't get annoyed by someone's nasally voice. Yes I'm an older one too.
