I click on these if only to see how long they are. And to hear their voice and learn their chosen style of presentation so when someone promotes them I can know they suffer from some kind of probably self-imposed intellectual handicap.
The choppily and constantly recut "stream of consciousness" complaint video is one of my favorite signs of a person who doesn't actually have anything to say. MovieBob, of all people, actually writes out what he wants to say beforehand. (This is also why he wears sunglasses so you can't see he's staring straight ahead reading his copy, except he fails to realize this reflects his monitors.) If MovieBob is a better video producer than you are I have to question your intelligence in general.
If these people want to do it that way, what they should do instead of cutting out the silences and uhs and ums and irrelevant digressions is transcribe it, edit the transcript and then re-record off the script.
Another aspect of these is that they want to be conversational but rarely do they surmise an audience member skeptical of what they're saying.
AND ANOTHER THING
