I get what you're saying, and you're not wrong in general, but in this specific case, there are plenty of counter-examples. For example, there's an awful lot of affiliate marketers out there who have found that video squeeze pages convert at a much higher rate than text squeeze pages. And they only know that because they tested the shit out of the options, not because they prefer one over the other. I hate watching a 5-minute video when I could skim-read a 30-second block of text instead. But I'm not necessarily representative of the population as a whole. And specifically as it relates to text over video, a huge number of people are finding that video converts better than text for their audience. YMMV.
