While I agree with this take, and I vastly prefer text based sources to video, is this true for everyone? This seems to support that, though I bet the study is a little biased:

“More students preferred reading than preferred video (30% to 20%, the other 50% preferred other forms of learning like in-person lectures and hands-on learning). And students who’d consumed the material via reading performed slightly better on the post-learning assessment than students who watched video, although the study’s numbers were small enough that this difference was not statistically significant.”
