Back in the good old days, if you got stuck on something in a video game, you look it up on youtube and then watch like a minute video of how to do it in a quick and easy way and that's it. Then you move on with your life.

But nowadays, if you're stuck on something in a video game and look up the solution on youtube, you get this:

-Thumbnail with an exaggerated person's face on it, with a red arrow pointing to literally nothing and a title that is typed out LIKE THIS!?!?!?!?! The shortest video is 20 minutes long.

-click on the video and hit a 15 second unskippable ad if you somehow don't have adblocker

-30 second intro plays with various clips of the guy doing wacky stuff while 8-bit music plays in the background. Sometimes he has some dumb avatar.

-"What's up youtube!? [Channel name] here! And today I'm going to show you how to get past this part in the videogame. But first! This video is sponsored by dollar shave club!"

-1 minute ad of Dollar Shave Club / Nord VPN / RAID: Shadow Legends / whatever while youtuber lies about how it improved their life

-"Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Click the bell for notifications! Follow me on instagram and twitter! Subscribe to my Twitch stream; I stream every other day at 5pm! Check out my facebook page! Become a member of my subreddit and discord! And check out my Patreon page! You can get access to exclusive streams and if you donate $5 or more, I'll put your name at the end of the video! Be sure to SMASH that like button!"

-Guy then proceeds to talk about his personal experiences growing up with the video and how it got him out of a dark time in his life or some shit, all the while jumpcutting cuz heaven-forbid there's dead air between sentences. But somehow it's still long as hell.

-Another ad plays. This time it's 3 minutes but you can actually hit the skip ad button within 5 seconds now.

-10 minutes in, we're finally in the video game part! He then proceeds to shove his face cam feed in the corner, taking up 25% of the screen.

-Guy tries to do the thing multiple times, but keeps failing. Showing a wacky face reaction and then jumpcutting to the next failed attempt.

-Takes him 10 minutes with all the dumb failed attempts he left in the video. All the while, he has to comment on every little fucking thing he sees or does.

-Finally, he does the thing, but barely explains anything about it. Spends more time celebrating that he did it and never explains how he (barely) achieved it.

-"Well I hope that helped. Don't forget to subscribe to see more of my content! And I want to thank my fellow Patreon members such as sephiroth_420, and xXx_360_No_ScOpE_xXx for being my top paid followers this month"

-Patreon names fill the page, then a 1 minute endslate appears that shows a couple of similar videos from the guy, all while 8-bit music plays

-Another ad loads in for some reason, but this time it's 15 seconds and you can't skip it.

People do not know how to get to the FUCKING point anymore and are more concerned with shoving their fat FUCKING face in everything and making a brand of themselves than actually delivering quick and helpful content. It's just like those FUCKING food blogs where they put their life story before every recipe before giving you the directions.

FUCK! Yes, I'm an old man and yes, I'm mad! >_>
