Video tutorials are sync, even if they have index with links to specific chapters, the video feed can be consumed exclusively sync.
Physically written books with documentation suffer from more or less the same issue.
Online written documentation on the other hand is searchable and it can be read in an async way, leading to less wasted time.
Besides this, Gemini gave me some other ideas: You can’t edit a video if you made a mistake in it just like you can’t edit a physical printed book and you can’t copy paste from either of them.
Beginners like to watch videos instead of reading, that is understandable but, learning by doing is harder this way.
Bottom line is, videos bring value to their creators only and take value from whoever looks at them.
That is why Maravel PHP Ecosystem lacks video tutorials but offers online docs: https://maravel-framework.com/docs/
