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.

People have lost a lot of their ability to focus. They read the title and assume they understand what is going on and move on. You can capture many more people via short videos than long text format, or short text format.
I used to be able to read full articles, a lot of them. I noticed that my attention span only allows me to read and read a fraction of what I used to be able to.
