    Explainer videos are dark patterns that replaced written howto documents in order to serve ads. Not seeing them pop up any more in search results is one of the few positive outcomes of Google switching to AI-first search results.

      Given we can write the documents in LLMs and summarise/explain the documents with LLMs one would hope we would go back to written documents instead of videos now.

      Instead we've worked out how to get the LLM to make videos.

        Yeah because people don't like to read. They do it if they're forced to but no more.
