A combo of 10 mins of fame and ad revenue i guess.
And i strongly agree. I hate to go searching for solutions to some computer problem only to find page after page of videos demonstrating step by step how to do something.
Reminds me of when i compared Cisco and Microsoft official training material on their products. The former was 99% text, as the interface to the routers were text based. The latter was a much larger tome, yet held mostly full page image of multiple choice dialogs and wizards with a small amount of descriptive text underneath.
Safe to say i learned more from the former than the latter...
