This seems to be presented as a very black-and-white topic. Are there no gray areas? Are any capable of both behavior patterns? Can we cycle through these behavior patterns? Can they change in phase of life? A very vapid analysis of this topic.

The money spent on music licensing could've paid for a narrator. People listen to videos as much if not more than watch them.
