> I'm a generally technical person and I'm simply flat out uninterested in video content

There are many good videos lectures available on YouTube from Stanford, MIT and other universities. You also have student questions on tape, very much like sitting in the real lecture. Could you explain what exactly makes the content uninteresting, when it is in video format?

Whenever I see video content I automatically think "I do not have time for this".

Text lets me efficiently skip through most of articles if they do not get to the point, or if they linger in ELI5.

The more I know about a field, the more I want to skip bits, because I don't need to be explained the basics over again.

I am perfectly capable of skipping the video forward until it gets interesting for me, same like a book. Sometimes you even have skip marks provided by the uploader or user comments where you can jump right into the interesting chapter.
