A lot of people these days want to flip through YouTube or listen to podcasts rather than reading even though the latter is often more efficient. So now you're asking someone to create additional content that won't make them any money (assuming they care).

People still create content for free--and it's obviously hard to monetize content generally--but, as apparently in your case, it's possible and if that were my goal I'd probably optimize for that.
