Depends how good the tutorials are, and video tutorials can be of very high quality. You may need to do some looking, but in my experience there has always been a quality tutorial out there on any subject and for any topic. You can absolutely become a good programmer, a good artist etc by doing tutorials. You just need some serious self-motivation

I don't think I ever met an awesome programmer that learnt via tutorials.

The point is that people enjoy making them. There are many good programmers and artists that want to show off their skill, but they have to work on their own, they can't do story so to hell with it, make it anyway. There's still much to be gained for them personally

Show off their skill? I don't know what are you exactly talking about. Releasing crappy or unfinished content won't get you a job. If you are expecting recognition from other people, then there might be a point.

But you missed the point. I don't care if you make 100, 200, 300 custom stories a week, as long as you can call each of these a custom story. I find it pointless to keep releasing useless content when instead you could have developed a serious project, that can benefit you in the future and believe me, if you are looking for self realization and your tolerance for it is on such level, you'll probably OD, if you know what I mean.



Today I dreamt the life I could live forever. You only know that when you feel it for you know not what you like until you've experienced it.
