I started making videos because I found, on social media platforms, that they have a higher hit rate than just audio.
Once Utub began to streame higher quality, less mangled audio than Soundcloud I posted both so that options were available and the slightly higher audio quality with the vid was a plus.
Now that streaming is a big huff n puff about LUFS it's harder to tell.
Videos can be played and listened to rather than watched. When the video content is space filler then that's just what I do - listen but not watch. IF all of two senses are requested then their attention has to be held.
I like making videos and sometimes I illustrate the song, clarify the lyric or just make it "performance" based - variety is nice for the maker too.
