Why is video dominated by a few platforms and audio isn't? Why is the podcast ecosystem built around audio, not video? The open formats that are used to publish podcasts support video as well, but I'm not aware of anyone actually using them for that. This is partly a chicken/egg problem. What comes first, the podcast player that supports videos, or the podcast that publishes videos? But that doesn't explain why the ecosystem started with audio and not video.
