What’s funny is I have a much easier time following text directions than video ones, unless it’s something that I need to visually see to understand.

If you gave me a text about the civil war vs sent me some YouTube documentary about it, assuming both were well made, I’d prefer the text.

Depends, for me. Instructions I prefer text, cruise entertainment that I don't have to reflect back on immediately, probably other forms
