Video is a terrible medium for getting information across because it's temporal by nature. Combine that with it being hard to quickly cross reference information if most information is presented in video format, and it makes it an excellent medium for mis/disinformation. Textual information isn't amazing for getting your message out there to the largest audience, but it is amazing for verifying that there's any truth in it whatsoever. If you post a reference in a video, it could just as easily be a ChatGPT hallucination. If you post it in a paper, I copy/paste the reference, search it on google or a scholarly article compendium, and have the primary source to verify that it does, in fact, say what you say it does.
