I third that. Videos are so incredible inaccessible. Want an easy-to-follow tutorial or heck a searchable document? nah mate video is all you get, and ads with it!
You do get searchable auto-transcripts of videos now, so that’s a good thing. Some people work better with videos and find them more accessible. Best of both worlds.
As long as they are not auto-playing and pre-caching, I’m fine with them existing.
Remember when websites had a built-in loading indicator, and you didn’t have to implement it yourself via JavaScript?
I remember when the web didn’t have JavaScript.
Honestly, though it was much worse back then. I prefer the variety and features of modern browsing over (mostly) plain text.
What I wish we could do away with on the web is videos. Let’s go back to just images and text, thanks. Animations are fine though 👍
Seconded. I really enjoyed pre-video Internet.

The ads make it even worse. I totally get the Gemini folks for wanting to simplify. But I do enjoy me a good webapp.
Okay, Gemini seems a bit hardline. Not even Tables or Images?
Well, you can link to images and individual clients can then choose to directly embed those images inline, where the link is placed.
