I said this in a reply to the comment below as well, but not every content consumer wants to read text. There's an entire audience out there that prefers video content and it's important to provide content for them as well. That's okay if you don't feel like the videos are for you. Not everyone is going to want to view a video in the same way that not everyone wants to read text, but we'd no sooner take away video content from that audience than we would take away text from the text-preferring audience.
