Yeah, true. There are so many cases where I have an issue where I literally just need a yes or no answer, or to learn a simple keyboard shortcut in a program, but instead I end up having to watch a whole video. Part of that is search engines being so terrible now.
My most recent one was "how to do a fillet in Blender". The answer is select am edge, press ctrl-b to activate the bevel tool, scroll up.

Take a look at SponsorBlock addon for firefox. It has a "skip to highlight" feature that often gets right to the thing you're looking for. Usually it's whatever was in the clickbait.
"Skip intro" and "skip filler" are good too, amdnof course, the eponymous Sponsor Blocking function that skips right past all that.
