I think it says more about most people not wanting to bother to read.
Modern social media has only succeeded by moving away from text, and meeting the masses where they already are. They mostly don't want to read.

But I think there is a discoverability dynamic at play as well. Finding a blog post that isn’t garbage can be harder than finding a decent video on any given topic. This is clearly a feedback loop towards video but I think partly this is because up until now you couldn’t just create a spam video channel with the same ease that you could a spam blog.
