I've realized over time that I personally cannot learn from video at all. Even "great" lectures don't stick. Text does!

Being able to skim, jump around, re-read a paragraph or pause on a single sentence is how understanding actually forms for me.

What’s interesting is that LLMs lean hard into this strength of text, they make it interactive, searchable, and contextual.

To me, most of these platforms have optimized video for engagement. Its essentially "press play and hope it sticks".
