It really depends. A site such as YuTube obviously needs video as main content. Channel9, on the other hand is completely pointless - I want to read technical information, not watch someone talking about it.

I agree absolutely.
It depends on the what the web site is supposed to do.

I disagree here.
Some people learn better watching videos.

Hear hear!
Many times I want to skim the information or copy/paste a bit of information; video prevents that.

Also agree!
But, even on video sites, it is annoying the videos start playing automatically. Specially when I not like to watch that video.

The gripe I have with videos, besides the bandwidth hogging, is that they take an excessive commitment to the content. Commitment I very often don't want to give - so the tab is closed and I move on.
Being of a generation that can still read and comprehend (with a substantial attention span), I'd like to do just that.
When referring to internet content, I think it is a rare occasion that using video (instead of text) is other than actually rude, for it's rare, indeed when anything substantial is added by the typical (over) use of this medium - except, perhaps, for a substantial waste of time.
All of the above, by the way, isn't even referring to the atrocity of video-ads.

I opted for none, but with some reservations.
I don't mind some videos, but recently there seems to be a trend for much information on websites such as MSDN, especially on new technologies, to be released purely (or primarily) on video, and frequently I hate it.
Often, I find the amount of information in a half-hour video could be absorbed from a text article in a few minutes. Sometimes I just think the organisation involved can't be bothered to actually write the information.
Other cases are not too bad - I've some of the Google/Yahoo videos useful, especially Douglas Crockford on JavaScript. Maybe it just depends on the skill of the presenter.
