Video grabs our attention more than other media, because it stimulates our brain more. You skim over text, but a picture, and especially a moving picture grabs your focus. It’s probably an evolutionary thing that makes it hard to ignore.

And because of that reason video gets more likes / views / whatever metric than just text, audio or photos. And because it gets the most internet points, it’s what people who want internet points will use.
