I prefer to separate it as "casual learning/curiosity" and "intentional learning" rather than something so crass. I'd admit to being an enjoyer of both, I have no dreams or illusions about me becoming civil engineer or city planner just because I like watching those sort of videos, even though they're informative as well as mostly just entertainment with unreliable narrators.

As long as you're conscious about what mode you're in (which to be fair, many probably aren't), I think it's fine.

Well, I was talking about myself. I used to learn mostly through videos, but I often struggled to apply what I'd watched. Over time, I realized I learn best by reading, writing, and actually putting things into practice, rather than passively consuming videos. Videos often gave me the illusion that I was learning, but later I'd have trouble recalling or using what I'd learned. I don't have that problem with text.
