Lol, really? I don't see the benefit of doing that. It's way faster to read text than to watch a video.

You're assuming that speed of consuming information is the goal. Plenty of people prefer videos over text because it communicates emotions and feelings better. Others remember more from people talking to them versus reading text on a page.
Sometimes reading is inconvenient, for example during commute while driving I listen to YouTube videos.
It does help with SEO, if you give a link back to your site :)
and it wastes your time since you could be doing somethIng more productive instead or rehashing the same thing.
