Probably I'm old-fashioned but I still prefer to read an article or a blog post rather than to watch a YouTube video, especially when it comes to programming. I understand that some topics like graphics (learning Photoshop, 3D modelling, filmmaking etc.) are better explained on video, but IMHO programming is not.
They say young people have short attention span so they cannot read long text, only watch short clips, but I feel like it works in the opposite way - I'm too impatient to spend time watching "if you like it please click Subscribe button" and similar buzz. I prefer to skim over text and read what looks interesting to me.

I tend to like to release my videos as blog posts too for that reason 💜
