I watch them once to decide if I want to make it. Once immediately before starting. Then once-or-twice with a lot of pausing and seeking while cooking.

Recipe blogs also have compressed instructions, so it's not like you need to read all the fluff, but when first stumbling upon a recipe, a short video is definitely better at grabbing your attention and showing you the major points and the result, in a way that traditional blogs and cooking sites fail to replicate. Video is also better for conveying technique, but I prefer paper or cards while cooking something that's not completely new to me, for fewer handwashing interruptions.
