Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text.
If your tutorial could be a webpage then you shouldn’t do it.
Edit: to all the people that suggest to make a specific query in the search, that’s just a partial solution because there are times I don’t know the entity of the solution and youtube could be a good place to look for.
You can find that information in every game in the menus.
But that why we have search engines, so we can find the information quickly instead of having to manually sift through the menus

In this simplified case, yes. But sometimes you might need to find an answer to a less trivial question and the described problem still would there. There’s a lot of seo-optimized, but useless content. It’s frustrating.
When you seek out the services tailored to the ignorant masses, you receive the results intended for the ignorant masses. The days of Google being the best resource have been gone since the 2016 US election at least.
