Wow that’s not been my experience at all - with regard to anything science or math related, I’ve found YouTube a massive help over any other medium.
Software engineering, not as much with a few exceptions (algorithms, cryptography).

This is how I feel about most books! I do hours of reading for something that could have been a few bullet points or a short video. Often finding the right book for your level is a challenge in itself

A book will probably explain a concept better than a YT video but the former will probably require many hours of reading and the latter just a couple minutes or an hour at most. Only "better" if time and effort aren't taken into account.
