The worst part of those awful long-winded tutorials is how you screw yourself on more complicated stuff if you try to skip to the relevant bits, because they ALWAYS leave something vital in the sections that seem useless so you HAVE to backtrack and listen to their inability to abridge a thought.
@@onii-chandaisuki5710 I think at least in the case of the really amateur ones addressing specific problems, that's giving them a lot of credit Some people just really don't know how to present information in a way that's useful to others
Only like 10 minutes later do you actually get to the recipe and the cooking... ...in a 12-minute video. And the recipe only stays on screen for like 2 seconds. Blink and you'll miss it.
I remember reading somewhere in an article that defended the long winded backstories, suggesting it was to prevent auto copyrighted content spam, but did not explain why these 5 paragraphs of intro/backstory then have embedded ads every 3 sentences...
Once I wanted to find out how to cook frozen dumplings, or specifically, use hot or cold water to do that. When I searched turtorials online, those videos started with "what kinds of dumplings are worth buying". Advertisements? Actually no.
That is very kind of you to say! I really like when Fauna goes on these tangents and rants and I initially wasn't sure if I was adding anything meaningful, but I am glad people seem to have enjoyed it.
Yeah this is the kind of editing clips should have (if they’re gonna have any). Usually I just see people add terrible memes that interrupt the actual clip that you clicked on the video for. And then people still call that good editing for some reason. I hate that. This just added visuals related to what Fauna was talking about, and didn’t interrupt her at all, perfect.
@@SentientSapling imo its really nice as a viewer to see edits like this, the editing isn't "trying too hard" no forced audio/visual cues or whatever just feels comfy overall (also the text is rlly cute btw) if i were to say anything it would be maybe a little bit less volume on the bgm but im biased against bgms in clips most of the time so
It's not just in tech tutorials, but also things like cooking videos where the host goes into a story about how their grandma's grandma used to make this dish in the Great Depression or whatever, and how the dish reminds them of home or family and all that shit. Who cares?! Just get to the f**kin' recipe!
And the fucking recipe is abridged! Just mix this in that, pour that into the ovenmagic cake purposed thingie that was in your oven at minimum heat pre-warming at 120c then turn to 180c and in 30 minutes your cake should be about to explode so puncture it with a knife or brochette to see its not raw inside and take it out.
I don't mind the stories as long as they don't get in the way of the recipe, put it at the end of the video/article, or a separate subpage on the webpage, or something like that…
She left out the part where you try the solution mentioned in the video and it doesn't work, so then you go back and rewatch the video to see if you missed anything. Then after watching another video, you realize the first video left out a critical piece of information: "Note: In order to obtain Shedinja, you need to have at least one Pokeball in your bag."
The comments section tends to help in this situation cause there will be people asking questions and the replies will be the answer that person and possibly yourself needed. I’ve seen some tutorial videos that disable the comments section and it’s like buddy, that’s a necessity for these kinds of videos, don’t disable that, lol,
yes somewhere in the middle of the video they just said "note however that this only works on x, otherwise the (entire) solution will not work". Now I'm mad because this tutorial doesn't even work in my case, and I didn't know it until 10 minutes later
Nothing can beat the How to videos with the 009 Soundsystem song, the Unregistered Hypercam watermark at the top of the video, and of course, the obligatory usage of the notepad only to make a mistake on a single word to erase the whole sentence and then type out the whole sentence again!
I wholeheartedly agree! I hate when I am looking for something simple and I am flooded with stupid videos. I just need one paragraph of text, that's it.
If the tutorial has Notepad or an earraper sound, a ten years old kid is doing it, and has an intro with dubstep... The tutorial is going to work is the Law
its like every recipe online, you have to scroll through the person's life story before the 12 lines at the bottom that just have the ingredients and for how long to cook them.
The editing for this was SO good! Love seeing all the Sony Vegas stuff and showing off the timeline at the end too. As someone whobuses Sony Vegas (and apparently Fauna does too) i feel exactly what she is saying.
First Clippy and now Sentient Sapling. The algorithm is sending me to low sub count Fauna clippers that are doing god tier editing. The algorithm is feeding me good this past year, more excellent fauna clips please and thanks.💚 May the algorithm send thousands more sapalings your way, you deserve it amazing stuff.
This excellent editing! Lol that Cortana XD Tutorials like what Fauna says makes me just scrub the video or just read the comments instead lol. Especially during an emergency x_x . And yeah I'm finding myself going back to text websites and reddit I can control F
Yeah it can definitely be a struggle, either long winded video tutorials or somehow worse, a forum post from 2007 that is locked for new replies with the only evidence of a solution being an old expired photobucket URL. SOMEONE out there solved it.
a possible thing that might be able to help is if the video has the automated captions you can popup (same place as chat would be) subtitle transcription overview (it's bellow the report option in the ⫶ menu), with that you can do a ctrl+f (or the search box at the top of popup) to find keywords which you can then click to get to that point in the video. but the main problem is that your relying on youtube to get the transcription correct which isn't always the case (and it has trouble with stronger Accent so you would be mostly out of luck with this if that's the case)
So it's basically every cooking recipe on the internet The cooking recipe is buried underneath 4 blogposts, Stephen Hawking's notes on theoretical physics, and 420 ads.
This is one of the biggest reasons why the dislike button going away sucked so much. Clicking on a random videos and seeing the like-dislike ratio being 15 likes and 2000 dislikes helped to know right away this tutorial was bs. Rummaging through tutorials has become even more hectic.
"Those" tutorials still get made today. They never stopped, they're just recorded at a higher resolution now. But it's the same thing. Bonus points for if some extremely vital piece of information is hidden away in one of the rambly parts so if you try just skipping to the relevant part you end up needing to backtrack anyway Source: am learning Unreal Engine to make an indie game, was in tutorial hell for a while
Fauna did such a good job at mimicking those awful tutorials that are I started to get genuinely annoyed. Only thing missing was that cringey royalty free beat
Her voice kind of changed these past few live sessions and I genuinely kind of like it. She sounds more.. uh.. I dont know how to describe it without sounding weird but she kind of sounds more "Real", yknow? Anyways, Fauna bestgirlyo!
A static webpage with *good* pictures and diagrams is often faster to read / understand than a video. The problem is it is hard to produce such content and it takes a lot of effort too. Then you get into the economics of it which push more towards padded youtube channels which is a whole other thing
this kinda reminds me of those blog posts that are like "Everything we know about season X of Y!" and its like paragraphs and paragraphs giving a rundown of what Y show is, and then at the veeeeeery bottom its like "unfortunately Season X of Y has not been officially confirmed yet..... have a nice day!"
I had this today, trying to find out the resistance of a rectifier regulator on a monkey bike, the guy went through how the entire part worked, what it does and loads of other useful to nobody stuff before saying the 7 numbers, the video was TWENTY EIGHT MINUTES LONG!!!!
It's either that or "Turn on your computer, then you run this code, fly to Italy, make 1M US dollars *in italy*, fly back, and then you're done! It's that simple."
Yeah, I agree with fauna for the most part. One caveat is if someone is indescribably stupid, they may need that level of handholding. I know one possibly two people like that IRL that make you question life every time they open their mouths.
Thank you! This is one of my biggest pet peeves with tutorial videos. Was playing a game, new expansion came out, new mechanic, wanted to know how to enable that mechanic, a single button press, and it was a 7:47 video! Like are you sh*tting me? The video was titled (how to use this new mechanic) paraphrasing, and the whole video was about how the new mechanic was so great and all the things you can do with it, and it wasn't until like.. 4:40 something did they mention the button. To be fair, that same button (CTRL) on every other character did essentially crouch/move down. But on this unique character it activated the new mechanic and the move down was moved to another button. But only when a certain thing was equipped.
Also forgot how the audio is either the worst rap song you ever heard in your life or a monotone voice so nasal that it makes Fran Drescher sound like Barry White.
Use sponsorblock to skip most of the fluff and check the video's timeline by hovering and will likely show the point where most people are watching the video for.
When people wrote these things in FAQs and forum posts you could just skip ahead to the part that you were looking for or ctrl+f for it. now it's locked up in video format for no reason.
For some reason, I feel like somebody helping me in person is much more better than learning online, because if somebody helped me online it really helped me do a lot of things. On the internet? I don’t learn as much on UA-cam tutorials than I do in real life lol.
this is what happen when youtube remove disslike button. so they increase watch time generaly accros the board. people need to watch good amount of the video to determind if its sht or not and sometimes you still confuse if its legit
As somebody who works in industrial maintenance, most of the problems I fix are usually caused by somebody not having a basic understanding of what they are doing.
1:58 for those who actually need the tutorial on "how to pop a window back in Vegas Pro, because you accidentally popped it out and you don't know how revert it." and now you feel obligated to drop a like to this comment.
She forgot the part where they explain where to download it from (the official site, *gasp*) and then shows you how to install it. Which is useful in a video titled "How to Download and Install (program)", but useless in "How to Disable (annoying feature)" or heaven forbid "Ten Tips to Improve your (program task)". Seriously, if I got that far, I probably already have the damn stuff installed and ready to go. Also I love how Getting Over It streams always cause the streamer to either having an incoherent raging meltdown or to start ranting about unrelated things that piss them off. Sometimes both.
One of the classic hidden getting over it streams. Those were magical times
I am hoping for more as they were basically the comfiest podcasts/zatsudans ever.
