    Interesting, i feel somewhat the opposite. i do camera repairs on film cameras, and having the exploded diagrams and manufacturers service guide is great, but a video of someone doing a full disassembly and reassembly is generally much more helpful in that context and allows me to scrub through the video to the parts i need for my repair.

      For more complex devices, I agree videos can be better.

      For simpler repairs, text and stills take me less time to understand than videos, especially with ones that pad a 2 minute video to 10 minutes so it can be monetized, with like 4 minutes of intro, 2 minutes of content stretched to 4, and 2 min of outro.
