Didn't downvote, but here is a short explanation from one of those who prefer images to videos:

Some of us have a high threshold to watching videos. The reasons might vary from person to person (bandwidth, easily bored, firewalls, blocking every video because of autoplaying ads etc) but the fact is if text is not enough and there are no screenshots there is a significant chance I might have already hit the back button.

And before anyone goes off about entitlement: often I'm just reading something quickly while waiting for something else.

If I visit a page hoping for information, and there is a video with no text or other supporting context, I will close the tab immediately. If there is a video and something to read, I will make sure the video is not playing and then read the text. Images are no problem.
