I get different things from videos than I do text. From a video, I get a "why" and a "how" most often, whereas from text I get a "what". Obviously text can represent why and how, but I feel there's something lost going from screencap to screencap that is perfectly captured in video about the process of getting from point A to point B. Additionally, most blog posts don't publish the mistakes (let's try this thing! crap it didn't work, here's why. This is especially true as a result of a question.) but you can very easily convey that type of information in video by just showing it not working. The pacing thing is totally a valid concern and I find myself watching youtube videos at 1.5 or 2x speed to consume the content.
