IME understanding what a time waster videos are compared to writing helps. Your eyes become faster than your brain when you read a lot; then you start automatically adjusting your reading rate to what your brain can handle. Videos on contrast have fixed speed, that is low enough to ensure that nobody loses track. Some tools can increase speed, but your optimal speed varies even in same video and you can easily miss things. In writing you can easily go back if you notice that you missed something, but with video you can only go back to some point and watch again hoping that you went far enough back. IME the thumbnails on timeline are also useless. I have resolved that videos just aren't worth my time most of the time, so I don't watch them unless I know that they are worth it. I find that I seek knowledge that I could possibly make use of later, but anything you find interesting can get you started on reading. A book that I keep reading over and over again is the Bible. I have also heard much older people say that they keep finding things they haven't noticed before in spite of having read it dozens of times before.
