I think it's the way YouTube videos are edited. Podcasts are just a continuous thing for the most part, where YouTube videos have those weird quick cuts. I'm pretty sure those quick cuts help keep you focused on the video, but at the same time might harm recollection in the way walking through a door makes you forget why you decided to go into the other room.
I feel like I learn more from an engaging and interesting video than I do from a podcast but thats just me.
