The pivot to video. I yearn for written tech guides or automotive process with well written instructions and detailed pictures. The fact that so much of the info once found in text is now pivoting to some chucklefuck holding his iPhone in one hand while trying to show you how to do a two handed job is extremely aggravating. Don’t even get me started on the need to sift through a 25 minute long tech video because you need to find that one step that you missed.

Video is so fucking low effort and annoying.

There are specific video tutorials that are clear, to the point, and specify every detail so there is no confusion on what you're doing regardless of your level of knowledge going in.

They exist, I've seen them, its magical having my hand held and being walked through a task I was confused about.

However they make up about 2% of all video tutorials

Exactly, most of them are either shaky garbage or just entirely too much fluff and wasted time.
