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.

I'm quite happy the internet is full of 13 year old videos of a man with the most exotic native dialect I've ever heard in my life explaining to me how to disassemble a gear hub of of a 1999 Mod. 1A-Phenotype 8ẞ SRAM/Sachs that had a production run of that one tuesday in 1998 but boy do I wish we had more Sheldon Brown. .
