But then, you can't really search youtube as efficiently as you can texts. That's the only downside for me, sieving through tens of videos just to find something that might be in the middle that's releavant to what i'm searching.

That’s true but there’s also a steep positive benefit in information density and fidelity. Compare written instructions for e.g. fixing a car vs a video of a person showing you how to do it. Latter is much more helpful

  It really depends on the task, and the best approach is often to combine written instructions with a video.

  That's when the video solves your problem. But how do you find the video that solves your problem? You can't skim through it quickly like you can with text.
