Unless it's for something physical (assembling an object) or otherwise visual (painting, 3D computer modelling, mapmaking), video tutorials are pretty bad for conveying information, due to low information density.

For programming, it is especially wasteful, as compared to an article with code samples, or, if necessary for the particular topic, a screenshot or two.

Don't disagree with you, but sometimes video tutorials are the _only_ source for such information (Some of Google's cloud services are guilty of this).

I'm a dev, and I only watch videos for entertainment. Any programming video tutorial could be a webpage, and I get professional information in text form exclusively.
