Which is better for you to learn? Articles or Videos?

There are a lot of good websites publishing awesome contents in several ways: articles, tutorials, videos, podcasts. My question is: what do you believe is the best way, articles/tutorials or videos? I know that the better way is publish a good content, but actually my question is what do you believe is the better way to publish this content?



I'm a web developer and I'd go for text-based articles/tutorials every time. I hate video tutorials. They are always much slower to use and cumbersome if you are only interested in a particular part.


Depends on the individual and the content. For me personally, I spend the majority of my time reading to consume content, a minority on videos, and zero on podcasts.


Thank you all for your answers.
