Reject inefficient video data transfer. Return to kb sized articles you can analyze at your own pace.
Sometimes (although rarely) I watch some videos on Odyssee. I try to avoid it too, because of some of its downsides, but it's better than YouTube because it has no ads, no need for login to watch, and videos can be easily downloaded without complains from the platform.
However, yeah, texts are way better. Internet used to be textual. Text allows for personal annotations, just like the grand old book annotations.
