I just love text because it's ready to consume at my own pace. I can glance through the sections that don't interest me, skip the parts I already know, I can slow during the really deep parts and consider how they fit in to my situations. All in my head. If I do that with a YouTube video, I have to constantly fast-forward and pause, and it's much harder to pick up the thread again after you've jumped a few minutes. Also, YouTubes (and the same with online courses) tend to be really slow to make sure even the slowest viewer doesn't disengage. And tend to have cutesy 'funny' bits to keep people 'interested'. I have nothing against people that enjoy those things. To each their own. But I really don't work that way myself and I hate it when people impose it on me. I just started a new job and my boss gave me a whole load of YouTube links to study and also podcasts (which I hate even more).. I really struggle wading through that kind of content :( so I proposed he just give me the topics and I research them myself.
