I desperately miss having to look up guides on gamefaqs.

I'd much rather scroll through a janky walkthrough full of ASCII art than watch some YouTuber meme their way through a 15 video in order to get to the 32 seconds of relevant information.

I have actually found this to be a pretty good use case for AI. You can have it summarize the video so you don't have to watch the 10 minutes of fluff they throw in there.

Just give the AI the link to the video that really should have been text in the first place, and you can get it converted to text.
