I've definitely coded along with my fair share of videos, but one of the underrated benefits of books is that there's a greater barrier to publication, so there's usually more quality control in a text. Videos are also typically 1 video per concept, so unless you're coding along with a series of videos, it can sometimes be difficult to effectively transition from one concept to another or check your understanding of a previous concept in the next video.
