There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Is there a website that offers similar kind of content as YouTube, except in a written format rather than a video one.

I’m someone who just much prefers reading to watching YouTube — I like being able to go at my pace.

So I was wondering if anyone here knows of any kind of website or app which has long form written content about interesting topics. Thank you! :)

I unfortunatly don't have a awnser but wanted to add I hate how all tech help has moved to video form. Written tutorials have then benefit of being clear and able to follow at your own pace.

Yeah this bugs me too. However, sometimes the key is scrolling farther down the search results. Google likes to put YouTube video results first but sometimes you can find the written instructions on a non google owned blog post past the videos.

Also, Bing (I know, I know) will break down the video and sometimes link you directly to the part of the video you need.

At least you can try asking ChatGPT now?

What you're looking for seems to be blogs. Before YouTube made "vlogging" (video blogging) widespread, many people blogged with text. There's still tons of useful/entertaining blogs out there depending on your interests.

There's sites like Medium (https://medium.com) which is a fairly popular centralized service. There's even Fediverse instanced communities based on software like WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/instances). Many just have independent blogs around the web, though.
