Why Do You Prefer Video Over Text?

Not a poll.

Why watch a relevant video, when you could read - and save - the text in about a quarter of the time?

I hate watching "informative" videos. I have to sit through some idiot flapping his lips, and if I save the video - I have to watch him spew his crap over and over again.

On the other hand, if you type your instructions I can easily folllow them, and refer back to them at a future date - without watching your idiot face flap its gums.

Typing > Talking.

Agreed, and why do all these male video geek presenters ALL sound like their balls haven't dropped yet?

I'm with you on this one - I hate idiots that have sales pages with video only or software products with video manuals only

on the other hand, good software video tutorials are in many cases better

99% of the time I would agree but having recently wanted to do something a bit complicated with my phone and getting nowhere following written instructions (that had left steps out assuming you already knew them) watching a simple video of someone just going through everything made it really easy to do.

I hate when I go to msnbc.com expecting to read a news story and they have a stupid video instead.

The videos themselves are not bad, but some of these guys don't know how to convey their message concisely. I had to endure a series of instructional videos, and every 30 minutes of footage involved stuff that could have been briefly and accurately explained in 3 minutes top, without me needing to know how cool his grammy is and if she bakes nice apple pies.

If it's just some short piece of info then I prefer text but if it's a longer tutorial I prefer a video.

Amen. Most of the time videos suck and eat too much of my time.
