I think, shall I say "properly educated" millennials would find that they can
profit faster from good text with a few pictures / sketches.
To expand on someone's old saying:
A picture or sketch is worth a thousand words, but divide that by 10 for each
minute of video ;-)
Sometimes a very short video can be helpful, but I mean a snippet of from
maybe 15 to 60 seconds, introduced on the (web)page with some explanatory text
and then just showing the thing that really can benefit from a video.
