I currently believe that anyone who avoids books, avoids reading, and just wants videos, can't get good at software.

A similar example?: Can you get good at writing by looking at videos, but not reading anything. Or, get good at running, by looking at videos but not actually running? -- Coding is mostly reading and if one doesn't liked that...

But yes sure, some concepts maybe can be nicely explained in videos. It'd be a small % of all one needs to learn I think.

Think about Code Complete, the book. How long would a video have to be, to cover the stuff in the book.
