It’s actually a good thing that visual learners get a chance to learn useful stuff by watching videos. Not everyone has the attention span required to read through a Wikipedia page.

Yup. Paraphrasing an old IT saying, you cannot grep Youtube videos.
…unless the videos have captions, in which case you absolutely can.
View the transcript, search for something, click what you found and boom: You’re at that precise moment in the video.
For literal grep, use something like NewPipe to download the subtitle file.
Today I was looking up how to do something in a game I’m playing, there were some videos about it, usual formula starting with “Sup guys!”, intros, ads for the channel, and fluff, “remember to press like”, oh and a bunch of videos that may or may not contain the answer.
The answer could be written in 5 words, basically what key to press.

Once upon a time, I totally would have agreed with you. But I have increasingly severe Memory and Cognitive Impairment that now makes comprehending text based instructive really difficult. I can however pick up demonstrated instructions very easily which means I’m now mostly reliant on these sorts of videos.
So while it may be annoying or not useful to you, it’s essential to folks like me.

There is no such thing as a visual learner.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I contend that such lack of attention span makes difficult to learn anything in any way.
