[Noisebridge-discuss] rant: youtube as documentation (hijacked thread was: Re: "Half-rap" music and "Grabbing a record")

[Martin Bogomolni]

There's a lot of information, most of it visually oriented.

I do understand what you mean.   This is hard enough to do, that
producing high-quality written documentation would be pretty
difficult.
