This is such a common annoyance on the modern internet. I've recently been playing Minecraft with my kids, with a few mods, and I've been irritated to discover that - unlike when I'd mess around with mods a decade ago - lots of the "documentation" for mods now exists only in video form.

Anyway, I built / slopped out this little wrapper for yt-dlp that I call tuber[1], and it has a feature for grabbing a video's subtitles and summarizing them with Claude, if you've got the CLI. I've found it really handy for those annoying cases where some video seems to promise info I want but I don't want to sit through ten minutes of bullshit.
