This makes no sense to me. It’s significantly more expensive to create and host video content, yet somehow we’ve gotten to the point where that’s the most profitable? It makes no sense.
It’s all about advertising. On a web page, which is cheap to create and cheap to host, the only ad you can really get is a pop-up or similar, and those don’t pay very much.
On the video, which is expensive to create and expensive to host, you can have 30 or 45 seconds of video ads, which pay a lot more.

It has nothing to do with the expense and everything to do with the fact that most people do not enjoy reading (any more, at least).
I guess I’ll just appreciate the fact that my books don’t have ads.
I read a lot of books on Kindle. It’s just a matter of time …
The base Kindle already has ads on the lock screen…
I use the Android app, so at least I don’t have to endure that.
