I'm similar and I think it comes down to the exploration versus exploitation dilemma [1].

When I'm in exploration mode, time is plentiful. This makes linear mediums like videos excellent primary sources of information.

When I'm in exploitation mode, time is short making videos a bad fit for the time I have to spend. I'd rather prefer text-based primary sources that will allow non-linear consumption.
