I can't find a gap in my life that fits video.

Audio maybe as I can listen while walking/driving.

But video stops me multitasking, I can't skim at my own pace, the speed of information delivery is order of magnitude slower than reading and skipping back and forth is much harder than with text+images.

I just honestly can't find a role for video where it's not significantly worse than reading+images (+ allowing for small, embedded video snippets for things that need to move to be understood like complex UI interactions or animations)
