Sorry for my different opinion.
Some learns watching someone going through the process and explaining the way including solving problems in a way.
Some learns by reading texts.

There are good videos and bad ones. There are good texts and bad ones.
The good videos and books usually focus on process and problems solving. Code along
The bad ones only show you the result. Copy and paste.

There were a times when people in Europe learned yoga or Taji using books. Only after gurus from Asia started to arrive and show them they really learned something.
So it really depends. .

good point. You can really learn something by watching videos. The point I want to make is that they are weak and slow ways of learning. If you get used to the best ways, you can have a bigger learning advance.
