Do you guys learn better by reading or by watching videos/courses?

Me personally I prefer video instructions. I get too easily distracted when reading books and am unable to visualize some of the concepts explained

videos are great to get a gist of things, but reading is really what let's me sort ideas out.

Mostly same as you, I find videos far more stimulating, allows me to grasp topics well before consolidating with further reading.

videos are a much faster way for transfer of information
books many times do not even have the specific information you are looking for. and if they have it some times they don't go into details

although a book can be a good way to have a general guideline or framework

I learn by better by lectures from a real expert who I can prompt with questions in real time as they arise and then get clear and concise answers as opposed to reading from a book and having to post my questions on stackexchange and then wait for a day for someone to give me a hint like a cunt instead of just plainly answering my question.

Videos I always find too slow. I listen mostly while I'm doing something else, like travelling or at the gym.

Well dont read shit books.

The real books are overfilled with details and specific information while videos dont even mention them.

Videos are not faster, the exception is things which require physical perspective to uninclined monkeys. A video walkthrough on a quick auto or appliance repair beats the manual every time. Everything else is communicated more clearly through instruction.
You can't be the type which thinks watching a video of an instructor copying brief notes on a chalkboard, chopped from any random book, frankensteined to meeting relevant standards is a fast way of transferring information.
