While I agree with you generally on all the reasons video's worse than text, _some_ of this is addressable with an offline video player. This is why I download virtually _everything_ I watch (desktop) via youtube-dl (it's pretty much a generic video download tool) and play it in mplayer or Xine.
In theory, VLC allows queuing of online content for playback, though in practice it's flaky enough that it crashes, loses the playlist, and/or gets confused during playback. I much prefer mplayer as a general rule.
