What is your preferred method of studying vocabulary?

So I use anki and currently am reading manga and making cards for each word or phrase. I have around 4200 cards Total and adding new ones each day. I just study 10 new ones a day but with reviews from other decks I review around 300 each day around an hour and a half…

I saw a video online of this guy, old man hou probably know him, and he mentioned how it’s better to immerse yourself in vocab than flash cards? This morning I was listening to an episode of nihongo con teppei and he mentioned he doesn’t like flash cards much and doesn’t use that method.

So what I wanna know is does reading through text and feeling the meaning of words based on context work? I just feel this method is more suitable for advanced learners? I will mention I don’t like the idea of flash cards either since I work full time and get home late and if there’s a better way than spending an hour and a half with cards then I will try it. What are your thoughts on this?
