Even if the installation instructions are more than 2 sentences, I absolutely hate if video is the only documentation method. It has its value as a supplement to a text description, but not without the text.
(The worst offender that I've come across for this stuff is Minecraft mods. I want to know how this machine block works, not watch you chat about random stuff for 30 minutes hoping that the explanation is somewhere around minute 19!)
Maybe YouTube should have a "kudos, this video was so good that I'll watch an extra 30-second ad just to thank you"-button.
(I assume most of these videos are so unnecessarily long because it increases ad earnings for the content creators.)
