Why does Facebook want me to watch videos?

I use a tablet for most of my computer use and web surfing. I look at Facebook a lot. I have the settings set not to automatically play videos.
Yesterday, Facebook changed something, and now the videos play like GIFs. They’re very jerky and irritating.
What does Facebook gain if I watch a video on their site. I don’t watch them, so I’m not sure. The videos from my friends have no commercial value. I understand there’s advertising on some videos, but not all.
What does Facebook gain when I watch a video on its site?
