Not the OP but personally I'm the same. It's Google I don't like and also the video format, I have no patience for watching videos. Written content is much easier for me to absorb quickly and efficiently. Videos are always so tailored to the slowest viewer (especially training videos, I hate those!!)

There's only a few YouTubers I have time for like ones that don't hide complexity, such as Dave Jones from EEVBlog.

YouTube now provide a setting to change the speed of a video. This means you can decrease or increase the speed to meet your viewing requirements.

Reading material quickly remains more comfortable than watching a sped-up video. There are many cases in which written material is a better way to transfer information than video.

A case in point would be this article, as it is clearly written, balanced and very digestible.
