It's quite simple.
The majority of crew are too engrossed with their service related paraphernelia during boarding to notice whether the video plays. Some crew even have to be reminded to arm their doors as they're so 'busy' in the cabin. And what happens on the rare occassions when the video fails to play? Have you seen the chaos that ensues as Crew rush around trying to remember the location of their demo equipment and then execute an improvised version of YMCA as they point towards exits? It's not pretty!
To be honest, the fault lies with the Airlines. They all say safety is the prime concern but in my opinion, and experience, actions speak louder than words. The good ones have the Cabin Crew in the the cabin during the safety brief, thus reinforcing the message and making the crew aware of their primary role. The passengers themselves are focused on the safety issues instead of deciding if they'd like a wine menu.
The safety card may well be in the seatpocket but as John Wayne once said; " You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it"!

Bymonek,
I will add to that by simply stating that the airline is run by morons for imbeciles.
Crew are poorly trained, they have no clear instructions and the bosses are concerned with making money not giving a service.
The crew will do as they please as long as they get paid. They are not accountable and like their managers irresponsible and wiull stay as long as EY is a party.
EY is going down and going down fast.
