29. Summary for you
Summary: Dawkins says that, to spread the word of non-belief, finessed and blunt approaches can both be useful, though people often find blunt speaking to be threatening.

So you didn't miss much.

But yes. Video posts should require text descriptions. Not just for hard of hearing and dial-up users, but also for people checking out the site at work, or in libraries, or late at night in a shared room, or other times when playing sound may not be an option.

Or just to spare us from wasting time watching things that are not as interesting as the headline makes them sound.
