The thing is, it’s text. I suppose I could use some text-to-speech

No, you can't, if you think a video tutorial is only that, I'm afraid to
tell that you only saw terrible courses/tutorials in your life.
Go on, show me a good video tutorial. One that is quick to consume,
and one I can come back to at any time I please (within reasonable
bounds). I can just open a text-based tutorial and use my browser’s
search capabilities (or a Table of Contents or an index in an analog
book) to find the precise bit of knowledge I need. You can’t easily
do that with video tutorials.
Also, video tutorials for code (as well as analog books) lack a very
important feature: copy-paste. Nobody likes retyping large passages
of code. Especially because it’s error-prone.
Chris, you are trying to convince the OP that videos are a bad way to
learn, after the OP has told you that it is his part of his preferred
way to learn. Seriously? Do you really think you know what is best for
everyone? Different people learn in different ways, and there could be
a large generational component at work here.
It's clear that you prefer text content to video content. I do too.
Lots of people do. But videos are popular also.
Can't we just stick to trying to help people with Python, and let them
make other decisions for themselves?
