Yeah no question, well written instructions (iFixit 💖) are better than even a well produced video, but I’d say the barrier to producing a useful video is much lower than to writing/photographing equally useful written instructions.
There are definitely cases where i vastly prefer video instructions to text though. Depends on what the instructions are about, the style of editing etc.
For example, seeing someone disassemble/assemble something is much more informative to me than a text that only vaguely describes where to find the next screw or clip, or that misses some important detail because the author thought it was obvious.
I’m doing my part!
Don’t worry, he’s alright. I found him right beneath your comment:
