[ExI] Preference for video over text?

[SR Ballard]

Why do so many people have a preference for video over text? Is it slow reading speed, laziness? 

I can read much faster than a video can present, I can scan the text, I can easily copy-paste quotes from text. I don’t have to fight with accents and poor pronunciation. 

Is it due to my “learning style” that I have a preference for text? And/or why does it seem like everyone prefers video to text?
