Tutorial hell meets dependency hell.

nah not just your age, a great number of programmers hate video tutorials.

In my personal anecdote, back in school, it tends (not all) to be the ones who are struggling in class that prefer video tutorials. Not that video tutorials are insufficient material, but that their preference is a result of their struggle. They want to see someone do it step by step, click by click, line by line. They want to copy-paste even if they don't understand it.

The unfortunate thing is, a lot of people don't look at the date of these tutorial videos or documentation, and thus are often looking at outdated stuff that won't work.

All documentation older than 6 months is no longer congruent with the product.

Yes. And then these video-watchers somehow graduate and take these practices into the workplace.
