When I use the internet to learn, I don’t want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.

I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.

I’m old. Learning is hard enough.

    Does a low resolution desktop capture of someone slowly and sloppily typing messages for the viewer into notepad count as text-based?

    How about a gigantic compressed image of mostly plain text attached to a post that requires an account to download files? Maybe also with a colored/patterned background to make trying to print the monstrosity even more fun.

    Or maybe actual embedded text, but served via 300 MB of bloated libraries and fonts and a script that disables right-clicking and text selecting.

      a script that disables right-clicking and text selecting.

      I happen to have a script that disables JavaScript. Thanks uBlock Origin for making these idiotic and anti-accessibility sites better.
