Oh yeah, totally, my experience has been that video bug reports are literally a thousand times better than text bug reports. I've worked in console game dev where we even required reproducer videos because they're so much better at showing the context of what happened. Often the text description was wrong and/or wildly incomplete and/or full of assumptions the user made about how things work or what's going on, and the video would demonstrate the issue and allow me to not have to engage in a lengthy back-and-forth conversation trying to understand the situation.
> “A picture is worth a thousand words” is an adage many would agree with.
I do too, but until now, I had never read that the other way around, that a picture might cost a thousand words. ;)
