That, of course, is all Google’s decision. Presumably advertisers are willing to pay a lot more for video ad placement than for banner ads or something.

Ironic that this is apparently about company decisions leading to less ad revenue, and some of us won’t even bother clicking the link now that we know it’s a video rather than an article.

Sadly, from what I gathered, a lot of kids will follow a video link rather than a text one.
I’m the exact opposite as for 90% of topics, I’ll be able to extract the same amount of information in 1/10th of the time.
