Because when you are reading an article, you can mostly ignore the ads. After awhile, your eyes just slide past them.

When you watch a video, the company can guarantee you have to watch 2 ads that are 15 seconds each. They can charge much more for those advertisements than they can for banner ads on pages. Thus, the content creators and hosts make more money from a video, even with the higher cost of production.
