The only thing worse than reading documentation/tutorials about how to do things in GUIs is writing documentation about how to do things in GUIs. It's just screenshot after screenshot. And following it is like playing a ScummVM game, only less fun and lots more alt+tabbing.
Screenshots? Look at Mr. Speedy Pants over here!
In my experience, half the time it's a bloody YouTube video. Nothing says "fun" like having to seek back around in a video to find the next step without waiting 20 extra seconds because you already had to seek back and pause the video after it breezed past an overcomplicated and poorly explained step.
Unregistered hypercam 2 + notepad instructions + evanescence is an aesthetic tho
And the audio is text to speech because it was created by some 12-year-old neckbeard (is that a contradiction?) who is too embarrassed to use their voice on the video they made just to get likes and subscribers.
My experience has usually been someone with a very thick accent and an incredibly crappy microphone.
Or loud crappy generic music with notepad open for captions.
If the GUI is good, then it's self documenting.

I'm still of the opinion, that your GUI sucks if it needs documentation.
