It's weird to me as a (former?) voracious reader how much I get through audiobooks and YouTube now, because it's easier to multitask with them. I listen to a lot of fiction on audiobooks while commuting or working on my house, because I don't have time to laze about reading. I get technical information through conference talks on YouTube, because I can watch it on a treadmill (it doesn't tell you everything you need to know, but you usually get a good idea if eg Kubernetes does a thing you want to do by watching the "Intro to X using Y" talks).

Same here. Since I started listening to audio books a few years ago my commute became so much more enjoyable - I even look forward to longer business trips now-a-day, especially with the new genres coming out, like LitRPG. Sometimes I even look forward to gardening or cooking if I can have the headphones on. A also frequent YouTube, but more as a replacement for TV (try watching John Oliver in Europe over regular TV on demand..).
