I think this can be effective if videos are structured properly. The other day I was trying to learn Wan animate and found a comfy ui workflow that game with an hour-long "how-to use" guide. The workflow required some diffusion models that were not listed in the video description, so I had to scrub through the video to find it. I used the auto generated transcription to help me, but even that's kinda shoddy sometimes.

The official ComfyUI tutorials are great — they give you the workflow, they tell you what to download, and they have screenshots of each step of the process, and take maybe 15 mins to follow.

So I think it depends. I don't know why HN is hostile against people who prefer video, it seems like a strange hill to die on, but as with most things in life, there's nuance.
