I have unlimited 4G data but I never watch videos. For one I don't want sound blaring out of my phone. Second I can actually read faster than your video. Information density. Our ancestors invented the script for a reason and its not going anywhere.

For videos to work, I would assume that you'd need the audio to play as well, in most cases anyway. The thing is, I don't know anyone who doesn't mute their phone (or computer) all the time, and old un-mute when they really want to watch, and hear, a video. It's certainly Facebooks fault for giving out wrong statistics, but I also feel like the advertising industry have failed to do extremely basic research.

  I don't. I keep the ringer volume muted, but the media volume turned up - this usually serves me pretty well. ...until I hit an autoplaying video somewhere, but I usually just learn to avoid sites that do that.

  Most Facebook videos have captions burned in at this point.

> Our ancestors invented the script for a reason Despite agreeing with the conclusion, I don't really think this is a reasonable statement. Our ancestors domesticated horses for a reason, that doesn't mean new technologies that weren't available then can't entirely supplant that need.
