@bestiaexmachina My personal favorite was an instructional video about how to set up Kodi on a Fire TV. Two or three minutes were spent on showing the person entering an URL using an on-screen keyboard. Fortunately in that case 'fast forward' helped.
After watching instructional videos I often think 'this should have been a half page of text'. But of course sometimes video is exactly the right medium, e.g. for the 'norwegian knit stitch' or paracord weaving instructions.
