Just the title....is it just me, or do all the people that put info on builds/guides on them on YT always just expect you to scrub through their video 400000x times to get all the info for the build. If you can even get that half the time.

​

Why the hell does no one actually write the info out or put a link to the Div2 Build Tool on Git with the information? It makes it extremely frustrating when trying to understand a new build I want to try out to see what sorts of items/stats I want to work towards.

Edit: There are a lot of people defending it by saying "Its YT, they want you to watch their videos so they get money/they want views/if they wrote it down, people wouldn't watch the video" etc etc.

If the only way they can get you to watch the video is by making a boring ass introduction that goes on too long, followed by a badly laid-out showing of gear piece by piece with no actual explanation of reasons or information. Then maybe they need to take a better look at themselves and the "content" they create. Writing out gear information to help people get a quick overview, should not invalidate an entire video. If it does, it means you provide no additional value to it in that ~10 minutes you are trying to force people to watch. Maybe if you talked about use cases, variations for different situations, playstyles, or other value-added content aside from what could just be a "here is the gear, goodbye" then you would be worth watching and you wouldn't need to worry about this.

Now, the above is of course a generalization, itt perhaps does not apply to all content creators. But the people defending this shit, get off your high horse and maybe think about the shit practices you are defending that don't do anything to help the community or the game you supposedly enjoy so much. But instead, act as a way to gatekeep easy access to information (whether intended or not) for new players who may not yet understand the "simple" aspects of build creation in the game and how different things interact and just want a way to know what they need to get into higher difficulty content and want to enjoy themselves so they just google "Division 2 build" and click on the videos that pop up.

The majority of people aren't coming here to reddit or Discord to ask about builds, they will just try to follow what they find on Youtube (if they even go that far) and go from there.
