If I can follow the written tutorials, then that, but for things that just don't make any sense to me, I go with the videos to clear them up.

Video tutorials are usually more than just a quick one-off example, so they often allow me to better adapt the thing to what I'm trying to do.

But they also take longer, as I can't just scroll to the most relevant example and kinda poke at it to get it working.

Yeah I guess you lose the "skin and scan" that you get with written... Which like you say might not be a bad thing if the content benefits a more detailed look 👀
