I don't think so.
Read an article of a blog : 3 min
Watch the video of this article > 3 min.
So let's say you want to read 10 articles, how many time you'll loose.
And also, if the article is a bit for geek, and with some links, if it's a video, i'll need to read the description, catch the right link,....
I thin kthat vlink is great for branding. But not so much as "media" in an informative way
