Blame retracting attention spans of populations worldwide. Upsetting and insensitive how dense the concept alone is - contracting extensive history with unquantifiable technicalities into a short video to appeal to whatever lacking demographic it does.

No one would read a paper on history if they don't conform to the interest to begin with, well guess what, they probably won't click on the video if they're not interested either. But they'll probably be more inclined to watch the video when given the two options.
