I outright hate watching YT guides. If there is a text version, I prefer it much better as I can read it faster, seek through the data better, and normally get to the bloody point.
+1 to this. Too many times you wait, wait and wait for some crucial bit of info and then they mumble it out and you're thinking "Well, that was a jolly fine way to waste my life".
For certain there's plenty of things I like to watch on videos ( Louis Rossmann replacing SMCs ), but for reference type items, I do also prefer the static-written form (like iFixit I suppose, for lack of other quick to use reference ).
That said, I make plenty of yabbering-on videos, and I've found I had a couple which recently lost audio due to YT music licence issues (even though it was licenced, but that's 10 yrs old now
). Now that I think of it, I do have one where I didn't say anything, I didn't have a microphone :-o
