Not weird. I generally hate videos for stuff that I just need some basic reference on. Where I find them useful is for visual stuff (obviously) that I'm less familiar with. For instance, if I need to twiddle with Windows Server 2022 to do something, I find text by far the best, because I do not need to see how to click on the start menu.

If I need to replace the AVR on a portable generator, the video is very helpful.
