Your explanation doesn't make sense. This is a wikia. If there's someone who doesn't want to read text, then they shouldn't come to a "wikia". They should visit a video streaming site if that's what they want. It's not video "content", it's just video "advertising" which what you're doing.

Not to mention, these videos make the page load slower since these videos are taking up bandwidth uplinks. But since you and your party were genius enough to realise that people wanted videos on a text based site, I guess that's why adblock comes to rescue.
