I never played it but wasn't the game still a buggy mess weeks, if not months after release?
A text version is way more time consuming for the author. Some people do these videos for free with no ads or sponsorship, they do it only to help others, you cannot shit on them only because it's not your preferred media.
And for walkthrough I honestly think it's often the best format. It's easier to understand what you should do when you see it and it's also easier to find what you're searching for when you see it. When you have to ctrl+f a bunch of synonyms because you don't know which words the author of the walkthrough used to describe the scene it's time consuming. Looking at 1 or 2 seconds of gameplay every half hours is less annoying, at least for me.
Or Samsung phones, they have 4 or 5 years of updates.
Really depends on your language. In french lamps are females for example.
The one time payment to remove ads costs 17€. It's not cheap but it's nowhere near 135€.
Some of them are drop-in replacements. You can create an alias and use the command as before, but you get a better interface (and sometimes better speed as well).
Not sure it would be legal. I guess the authors of the videos should upload them themselves.
It's already there, no ? They suggest content in my frontpage from subreddit I'm not subscribed to.
2000 or 2010 maybe (too young to know) but I'm not sure I see any difference between now and 2016. The only major new thing I can think of is tiktok but it didn't ruin the internet.
