I think monetization has pushed almost everything to video. I miss the old days when people would actually write up how to do things.

I think that's less about monetization and more about barriers to entry. Everyone has a cellphone that takes video now, in many cases it's easier to publish video to the web than it is to write an article.

It's also about Google massively priortizing video results in their search engine.
