I hate when I link to a story and it's a video.

I only want to read my news, I don't want to have to sit through a video on the subject, for these reasons:

1. It's less private. There's probably going to be sound and the moving image will attract unwanted attention. I might have to put on headphones and turn on the sound on my PC which is a drag.

2. To get the information, I have to sit through the whole video. I can't skim it for most relevant details and then go back through it to see how the writer structured the information (which is how I prefer to read.)

3. I like to make up my own funny voices for characters in a news story, maybe give the gruff cop a Sean Connery accent for instance. The video format takes all the wonder out of it.

Get back to work!

Yeah. I hate that too. Thought I was the only one. Anyway, since you brought up Sean Connery:

Videos are only good to display mindless violence and sex scenes.

I hate it too, video playback is disabled on work computers.

ACK!

Al, you need to cut back on posting memes. We all have access to reddit.

I hate videos that autoplay. I often call up six or seven different articles on a topic at once, and if a video starts squawking I have to stop reading and search through the tabs to find the offender...and then, often there is no way to pause or stop it, except to close the tab.
