I don't think you need to be exactly a genius in order to watch videos on the internet. It requires even less effort than attending a lecture, and has many benefits (cheaper, you can literally replicate the best lecturer in the universe for everyone, you can rewatch inifinite amount of times...).

Videos are generally much more boring to watch than a live teacher. I definatley don't expect students to watch the same 1 hour video twice.
