If it's a video, it does noe exist for me. I could watch them, but I have better things to watch if I want to watch something. So I move on to something else.

Most of us read far faster than someone umming and ahing through a presentation in a monotone can speak.
At the very least, give us a frigging transcript.
A transcript would be great, but it struck me in these days of deep learning it's just a question of time before someone does a "speedup" option for videos that instead of just increasing the speed of the video, combines that with "smart" cuts like removing umming and ahing and unnecessary dead space, and tries to apply other simplifications as well (I'd still prefer text, but I'm sure there'd be an upside for people who like video).
And imagine even a more aggressive "video summarizer" generating articles from videos with interspersed screenshots or brief video segments where they matter for the understanding...
