Nope. In a word. There are completely different production values between the two media.

Video can be very informative when it is instructional, and of course when it's entertaining.

Video is dull as dish water when it's talking heads, unless the talking heads are exceptionally interesting, informative, or entertaining. Talk show host s earn their crust. It's not as easy as it looks.

Producing good video is just as hard as producing good text. But you can scan less than stellar text to find the good stuff. It's hard to scan video for the good stuff.

So, on the whole, text beats video unless you _really_ know what you are doing and are critiquing hard.

haha. "Video is dull as dish water when it's talking heads".

Works better for categories like eSports, Cooking, How To.
