Most of the time when a video is posted, there is something useful written with it to tell you what it's about. I could just read and know what the key points are and actually retain information. Videos might as well be written in cuneiform since retention is so low in video or audio form.

If a video plays, I slip into the rainy-day-in-elementary-school-subsittute-teacher-runs-old-movie mode" and brain shuts off. Reading at least engages both of my brain cells.
