I think this is frequently true but one thing that can break this trend for me is long form interview content. Their are podcasts I listen to that will release thingsblike 5 hour panel discussions with subject matter experts that can go relaly deep and yet have a very different tone than written material usually would and I tend to like these a lot. I agree though that to methodically learn a subject books are probably the only way.
