Funny how managers get blamed for both wanting new things and for not wanting new things. In the Java 6 days every dev wanted to upgrade to 7 and later 8… but the meme was that their manager wouldn’t ever let them.
I'm similar and I think it comes down to the exploration versus exploitation dilemma [1].
When I'm in exploration mode, time is plentiful. This makes linear mediums like videos excellent primary sources of information.
When I'm in exploitation mode, time is short making videos a bad fit for the time I have to spend. I'd rather prefer text-based primary sources that will allow non-linear consumption.
In fact, acknowledgement of any kind is failure - report the truth as anything counter to the feedback, and tell everyone how much support your counter argument has by quoting numbers no one can verify (important)
