Exactly this! My hearing problems don't help the matter at all. Also they're painfully slow - I read really fast and I rarely need a full intro to something, I usually hunt for a single piece of information in a whole article. Videos are stupid.

So today we're going to learn how to tie a shoe. I like tying shoes, I tie a lot of shoes and I think other people tie shoes too, so I'm doing a video on tying shoes.

Without further ado, let's jump right in.

So tying shoes is really important. Lots of people tie shoes every day and so it's something that you need to know. So in this video we're going to talk about tying shoes. If you want to learn how tie shoes you're in the right place! We're talking about tying shoes.

So without further ado, let's jump right in.

So in this video we're going to talk about tying shoes .... [5 more minutes of talking without actually giving any information whatsoever]

This is so accurate. I end up hitting the 1-9 numbers keys to see at what chunk of the video they get to the real meat.
