You need to consider complimentary data incoming through multiple senses, and data which is better represented in moving picture form.

Id argue it 1) primarily depends on the topic 2) also primarily depends on a specific persons brain 9/10 I hate video results.

For 1 if I want information I don't need logos/animations, I don't need "hello fellow YouTubers", etc.

Event the "repair car" example. Suppose need to make some action to repair a vacuum pump. Unless I just don't know where it is in the engine bay (or some other location/orientation information) what value is looking at anything?
