User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki Video Types and How You Can Create Them/@comment-3474542-20170421033848

Please make this an optional change. And please make the videos default to click-to-play. There's nothing like listening to a random video stutter in a while you are trying to load a page to search for a tiny bit of content. :-(

P.S. - The written (typed) word is much more accessible than any video. You can make edits to a text article when it needs changes, you need to record a whole new video every time you need to update a video. Videos have limited language options - it's harder to understand someone with a thick accent than it is to understand typing (and it's harder to get a machine translator to render it comprehensible, too).
