It was these sorts of websites which led me to fall in love with the internet. How far we've fallen. I miss those heady days.

- vjeux 8y agoThere’s a ton of similar content on Youtube.
- DrOctagon 8y agoTrue, but this is the fastest loading page you'll visit today and has zero tracking.
- 3xblah 8y agoMore generally, there is zero Javascript and zero CSS. There are no advertisters paying for anything, and yet the content exists and is available. If there was such a thing as "free" content on the web then this page seems to represent that idea better than the pages of today. While today's pages may be more technically impressive by showcasing browser "features", they also pose more potential risk to users on several fronts. There is a cost.
- floren 8y agoAnd that sucks, because videos are good as an augmentation to pages like this, but sometimes you just want a step-by-step on how to do things without fooling around rewinding over and over. Plus, no "make sure to like and subscribe" or "hey guys!!" in this page.
- twmiller 8y agoThis. Oh my god, this. While there definitely is a time and place for video tutorials, the modern internet seems to assume that its ‘always’ and ‘everywhere’. I keep hoping that it’s a fad that will pass.
- BozeWolf 8y agoThis! I absolutely hate instruction video’s! Skipping forward and skipping back.. watching it for ten minutes to discover you probably skipped the important part. I guess i am impatient. Coding video tutorials - never understood it. Car repair video’s: very hard to follow because most of the time the lightning is bad and the camera is shaky. A few good pictures with descriptive text. Perhaps a movie if you have to do something which requires a specific kind of move. That said: instruction movies about sports are pretty useful.
