I blame YouTube, and (separately) the ad-supported model. I don't like the trend of turning articles into videos in the first place, but without the fact that the longer you make a video the more ads you can stuff into it (and YouTube's crazy amount of ads), I think most videos would be much shorter, simply because long videos take more effort to produce. YouTube Premium doesn't help much here because (1) as long as there is a significant amount of users watching ads, YouTube will still incentivize creators to make longer videos and (2) the subscription model is a bad deal for everyone but YouTube themselves (users only rent their content instead of "own" (which is still a better deal for almost all values of "item own"), creators get a tiny slice of a fixed-size pie).
