Interesting. I prefer video/audio for the same reason. But I watch most things on 1.5x or 1.8x speed. I'm not a particularly fast reader, so I prefer audio/video forms.

Totally agree with you though about not thinking written form is inferior. I do still enjoy a good long form article. (Also I'm not including technical writing like documentation.)

A TTS read out of written text I find ideal. I don't have time to read nearly as much as I would like, but I can listen while doing other things, and can do it at 2x it even slower than 1x if it's dense. You can match it to your cognitive capacity which I find optimal
