I’m turned off by videos. I can’t recall ever watching one to find out about a product’s features. Maybe that’s just my own personal learning style, but especially if you’re in a public place, it’s very impractical.

I agree with all of this, particularly videos. Videos are great and they’re a very cleverly deceitful marketing tool when used right, but this whole marketing minimalism by video trend has really worn itself out for me (I’m sure it still works great from a marketing angle – via emotional titillation). Still, you have Camtasia Studio and a gradient background, I get it – now where’s the feature list and the written tutorials? I don’t want to have to run back and forth between 8:09 and 8:43 five times to see how you did whatever you did.
