Long Walkthrough Vs. Quick Answers

I was setting up payments for my product last week and came across a 1-hour YouTube tutorial.

The video was detailed and well put together, but all I really needed were 2–3 specific answers.

Instead, I spent most of the time skipping around, replaying sections, and still feeling like I was wasting time. It reminded me how often this happens when learning a new tool — the information is there, but buried inside long content.

As an experiment, I tried turning that same tutorial into something more interactive, where you can search inside the video or ask questions directly.

Here’s what that looked like with the LemonSqueezy setup guide: https://qudemo.com/share/761a0549-315d-4441-862d-fbff310a9cc8

It was a very different experience — instead of watching passively, I was able to jump straight to the parts that mattered.

For me, that shift from “sit through a video” to “interact with it” felt like a big unlock.
