Kids. It seems to be the modern way - current
generations don't want to
spend a couple of minutes reading text when they can sit though 30
minutes
of visual content instead. It's like brains have lost the ability to
focus
on something unless it's noisy and moving.
No. Money.
It is much easier to monetize those videos then it is to make money off of a
web page and ad views. It's not that the kids don't want to spend a couple
of minutes reading. It is because content is becoming less and less free.
