I'm not a big fan of video tutorials in general. When I look for a tutorial on Google I always skip the first few results because anymore they're almost all videos!
I understand it is easier than writing it all out with screen shots and links, plus not everyone has their own web page to host (youtube is free), but to me the later is just more useful, easier to reference, you don't have to keep pausing and sliding back and forth, plus they can be saved more simply with less space than a video.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for any knowledge people choose to share. I just miss the "good old days" of the internet where everything was documents and hyperlinks. In my mind, video should be for entertainment only. A well notated screenshot is worth a thousand videos!
I almost feel like Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer! =P
