It really depends on your learning style and how complex the subject is! For me, I learn better with videos when I need to understand visual processes (like how to use equipment), but with books I can go much deeper and it sticks in my memory more easily. Videos are great for initial motivation and quick clarity, but books give you that solid knowledge that actually lasts! The ideal thing is to combine both, especially if it's something technical or that needs detail.
The best strategy is to combine both, but start with whichever format holds your attention better. If you struggle to stay focused with text, videos work better because they naturally pull your concentration along. Now, if the subject is very technical or has details you need to look up later, books and articles win out because you can go back without wasting time.
What works well is using videos for an initial overview - you get the context and see how things work - and then complement that with reading when you need to go deeper or retain information more precisely. Books let you move at your own pace, videos are better if the subject is visual or has sequences that are hard to explain in text.
In the end, experience is what tells you which is better. Try both with something simple and see which one you learn faster and more solidly from. Some people soak everything up from videos and there are people who read a paragraph and understand more than they would from half an hour on screen.
