That even applies to how-to stuff. Ugh, not another YouTube video on how to fix something where I have to skim through 10 minutes of how to use a screwdriver and the guys rants on which screwdriver to have. Can't I just have a good old service manual?

This drives me crazy, and I don't even look up maintenance stuff regularly. Just simple information you used to be able to pick up on google with some odd guy's blog, now you either got to go browse videos or hope some wiki has useful data. I definitely sympathize with anyone trying to do something a little involved, like fixing a machine (especially with how you can't just go down to radioshack for spare parts anymore).

If I'm a total novice, the lecture on tools might be useful, but what about the intermediate user? There's no index or glossary on that video. Is skipping around to random points in a video the intended experience?
