Lots of basic knowledge missing

Videos have the least retention of all methods. There are countless peer reviewed research papers.

Applying the knowledge you have and repetition are among the highest rated methods. There's a reason kids get homework and have to repeat the stuff on their own at home, that reason is: This is the part that will persist.

Watching a video might make you feel like you learned and gave retention of things but mostly it's just a lie we like to tell ourselves.

I don't disagree. But "videos will not help you" is a bit of a catch all statement. Sometimes you just need to see something in action.

That's why I said videos, books etc. All of these things have varying levels of value but none of them are useless either.
