Honestly, very difficult to say. At times prefer videos (specifically complex subjects or to get the summary) and at time static (to go deeper or find out what exactly I looking for).

@mjain_mayank I feel same...it really depends on multiple things
Static content.
@soumya_chaturvedi Static content allows me to quickly find what I want even after a long time.
@ninaaaa0913 any specific reason
There are probably the odd cases where I would say videos due to the nature of the content, but almost always static content. I love to read, I often am working in a public place, and frankly, I just like that I can control my pace (ie. skim ahead) when reading, whereas with videos, it's hard to do that with the confidence you didn't skip something critical.
@brenna_donoghue usually people prefer video as it's quick, but good to know you prefer reading
For the web performance (carbon footprint, seo, weight and loading time ...) static images are a better practice.
@fares_aktouf was thinking same...
What is the objective? For more complex subjects I would rather have a video for learning, for opinions, short teaching and others text.
@robertomorais quite interesting to know so many choices
Static content - I can quickly scan it

@siddhartha_dange you feel it's faster to grasp ?
@siddhartha_dange @soumya_chaturvedi Branded video content has obtained increased views on YouTube. When it comes to Twitter, people retweet a video 6 times more than any static content.

Depends on the purpose, but video usually. Especially if it involves a person speaking or explaining something ( e.g. course or tutorial), because I can hear and see them and take in way more information and get a better impression on whether or not this is a trustable source. Additionally video / audio content allows me to take in information while doing other tasks, such as driving or doing household chores.
I guess I would prefer static / text in situations where I would need to quote the source of a given content, such as research, blogging, academic writing etc.
Static content. It is easy to skim through.
@gauravgoyal_gg I prefer video content mostly......quick scan while reading is little difficult for me
what do you prefer @soumya_chaturvedi
In static content you can find whatever you are looking for very easily, in video content you don't know what's inside sometimes it's just waste of time.
@rahul_mehta17 yaah sometimes I too feel this
For me, it's video.
