According to Kitchen Stories, some bakers prefer fresh yeast for its "richer, slightly sweeter" flavor and its superior leavening abilities. Bake Club also says that it prefers the texture of leavened breads made with fresh yeast. It says that fresh yeast works better for doughs that require long, slow rises because it tends to stay active for longer lengths of time. Masterclass notes that dried yeast is actually coated in dead yeast cells, which reduce its population by one quarter. That coating also slows down the fermentation slightly, though most recipes will call for rehydrating the yeast and giving it sufficient time to activate before adding it to the dough.
If fresh yeast really provides these benefits though, they might be subtle at best. In its test between the two, The Kitchn found that dried yeast held up well compared to fresh yeast. It reported minimal differences in flavor or texture, and says that the added convenience of dried yeast puts it ahead in its opinion. When stored properly, dried yeast that's been opened can last up to four months in the refrigerator and six months when frozen (via Bob's Red Mill). Fresh yeast, on the other hand, only lasts for about two weeks when refrigerated, per The Kitchn.
Spruce Eats also points out that the two yeasts are mostly interchangeable. Just be sure to use an accurate conversion from the original recipe to whichever form you prefer.
