@astro_jcm This is an interesting preference. Oral culture, learning and transmission (ie video) tends to be easier for the teacher to produce (ie lecture) than translating their skill in to written formats (ie books, blogs etc). They can simply show how, instead of needing to tell how.

@BlinkPopShift For me on the receiving end it's the opposite: I lack the patience to sit through a 20 min video to learn something I could've read in 2 min. Also, given the elaborate production I see in many videos, and factoring in the prep time, scripting, extra takes, editing and such, I often wonder if just writing it down wouldn't have been faster. Not trying to police how others share knowledge, of course; and I get that other people might learn better from videos.
