I literally just finished reading an article on how the myth of learning styles keeps getting debunked - https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-myth...

And a good article it is. I've never been a great believer in learning styles, but I do know that for me, it's far, far more convenient to watch a video and read a smaller amount of text than to have to solely read a book.

I read text all day. Watching a video is novel and exciting, and I think I tend to pay more attention because of it. But that's just anecdotal. Grinds my gears when people suggest that "books are the best way to learn" any kind of programming language.
