Blogs mostly but some things I do better with a video 😄

Need a 3rd option @Warren Buckley - both (at the same time). Either a video with a transcript (especially those fancy ones that have two way syncing) or A video at the start of a the blog post

Interesting to see videos are not in favour, kinda curious to know why.

Scanability is the big one for me, most blog posts I dont read 😄 I scan look at the code then read if I get stuck

I prefer a video. Disclaimer: I am not neurotypical.

* now wonders if I am engaging enough to jason 🤔

I am doing some microsoft learn stuff right now and I am screaming out of a video now 😄

My favourite CSS / JS learning resources: Sara Soueidan - mostly text blog/tutorial but with some examples and videos Kevin Powell - Youtube video Chris Ferdinandi - Single tutorials with a video at the top of the page Ahmad Shadeed - Tutorials with in page working examples Josh Comeau - Tutorials with in page videos and working examples These people are my heroes, incredibly well written and produced content that I go back to time and time again. For transparewncy I have paid for courses from some of the above and worth every penny.

I like the idea of a video but then get frustrated by the presenter when they rabble on. I also find a blog easier to come back to if I need to stop for any reason.

Note to self - don't ramble on 😂

Interesting, I'm in the middle of putting together a video.

It's fine if it's related in some way but when they are promoting something or go off on a tangent then it gets annoying 😄

Oh, haha, yeah none of that.

Personally, I prefer text to videos - scanability, for sure (like - is this even going to help me with what I am looking for?) and also because I can read faster than people speak (especially with the slow ramblers), and having things like code samples available for closer examination/copy & paste, etc. I don't mind SHORT videos which are designed to quickly demo something, those can be helpful to get an overview, but if there is a lot of nuance or coding, etc. it can be tedious to watch and not as actionable.

I wonder if the question was asked in a You Tube video with a poll (can that be done?) if the answers would be different. My thinking is LinkedIn and Discord will appeal to those who favour text, so is the choice of platform skewing the result?
