if you're on Youtube looking for a solution and you manage to find it then I'd say the chances are you know what the problem is.
I was looking for a way to change the default search in Edge and I came across this:

Obviously good on the guy for offering help but he wastes the first minute telling us what we already know. So you're there needing to skip through the waffle to just get to the answer. In that clip it's just a minute but a lot of the time it's a longer clip and the waffle takes equally longer to get to.
I understand that some of the time people like to demonstrate how knowledgeable they are and therefore need to explain that they understand the problem and didn't just stumble on it etc but I'd say most of us are just looking for (and would appreciate) a simple and straight-to-the-point answer. |
Most of the time it is far easier and quicker to just type what you want to know in Google for something like that which gives you the answer in seconds.
