For people reading this, just remember that people who prefer videos over prose aren't hanging out in a text-only forum like this. There's some self-selection happening here.

You should not automatically assume that most people prefer text over video!

No, but you can guess that people actually doing work and creating software do. I don't want to watch a fucking video when I can refer to actual documentation and potentially cut and paste some example code somewhere.
I happen to know other folks who also “actually do work” who prefer watching a video explainer. I usually prefer text, but sometimes people document features better in vocal conversation vs writing.
