dont count on it, cause most of the new guys dont want to take the time to learn how to do it, they want a tutorial that will basically do it for them.
the best way to learn is to play w/ the editing software & to figure it out, its not that hard to use if you spend a day to learn it.
as opposed to getting that tutorial that will basically do it for them, & then spending the day to make bad patch to release because they had no patience to begin w/.
nowadays here its not about quality but quantity, how much you can make & release & some sort of forum fame.
you may have many posts here, but from what you are saying it seems as if you havent been very active around this section of sg lately to see for yourself.
Everyone learns differently. If people get walked through something step by step, they'll usually be much happier to try something themselves.
It's not about being active in this section of the forum, it's been the same forever (regarding new people coming in, wanting to make stuff straight away, and wanting it to be easy).
However, anyone that has done any adult learning or facilitating courses, knows that a "Tell Show Do Feedback" approach covers most different styles of adult learning. Tell then show them how to do it (Tutorials), let them do it, give feedback on what can be changed.
The big thing that hasn't changed around here is guys that are really familiar with editing software (and computers in general) forget that not everyone is. And so rather than 'wasting their time' pointing these people in the right direction to get started on their learning journey, they waste their time trying to be the 'big man in town', and mocking the questions these new guys ask.
I get that their is loads of new people asking stupid questions, but instead of answering with a stupid answer, either don't answer, or at least point them in the right direction. Not every beginner is going to be a great patch maker, but I can assure you some of them will persist.
I know I stopped making kits, and editing tools years and years ago, but now I download other people's. The guys that are making stuff now, I'm sure will one day be doing the same.
