Maybe future generations will develop some tolerance or actual interest for this kind of video-from-blog-post format [1], but I find it irksome. Speedup tricks aside, video is unskimmable, so I can't consume it at my own pace unlike I can with text.
But I understand, from a business perspective, the appeal of:
- preroll ads, which are (as of this moment) harder to block than other types of ads
- the promise of organic 'virality' brought upon by a visually stimulating format
- the desire to use automation to cut down on the human element of producing such converted content
