As an 18-23 person for me it depends

My only examples are games because I have not finished my coffee but in say Zelda where I need to physically go somewhere I’d prefer a video instead of going left right right straight left too confusing for me

For about everything else I prefer text, for example I got stuck on a boss in v rising so I look up a text guide to learn the move set a little better because I’d rather have that knowledge of what’s going to happen rather than seeing it step by step

Also lets me skip past and ignore the BS

I also like text cus it’s easier to take in for me, I can re read the exact part I need to over and over but sometimes I get annoyed need to watch the 8 second segment preceding the part I didn’t catch 60 times in a row

It does depend on the person, and the text readers do rather well in my courses. Visual aids help, although I teach stats and social psych, so the most visuals that help are diagrams at best.

Games though, sure, sometimes. Snapshots usually suffice for me, though I haven't needed a guide for a puzzle in a long long time. (Older games are a lot more "guide damn it" than newer ones without missables).
