@Ategon I know I'm in the stark minority, but I wish there wasn't such a focus on video tutorials. I grew up going through text-based actionscript 3 tutorials and that's still my preference a decade and a half later.

MODERATORS
Yeah I tend to prefer text tutorials as well when they're available. They're just harder to make well and have worse discoverability so there's so many more video tutorials
I feel the same way. I do enjoy video tutorials to some extent. Sometimes I find it beneficial to see it in action, especially if I am misunderstanding something. Sometimes text can be too vague and it ends up taking way more time to understand.
On the other hand, I find that I actually finish things when it is text. Watching a video I tend to zone out. I had this issue in college more often than not, but text with music in the background I can grind at something for hours on end without a single break.
