You do know the internet predates Youtube by decades?

And we have the exact same right to complain about the masses of garbage put out, making it difficult to find the useful videos.  Full stop.

A prepared script helps with not having to improvise and think as you go along. It focuses, it keeps the narration in line. Very few people can improvise well. But also good editing can remove the silences, uhms, coughs and other unwanted moments.

One example of good editing is Steve Lehto. You will never see him cough or clear his throat as he removes those things. On the other hand, the guy is long winded and can improvise as long as need be without a script but very few people can do that well. Now that I think about it ... he's a lawyer and I suppose droning off to judge and jury is a necessary skill. :)

Man, you sound like you are a bit cranky today. Is everything OK? 

Nobody is questioning the "right" of anyone to upload anything. I do not question "the right" of people to be rude, or have bad manners, or not use proper hygiene, or dress inappropriately or use bad grammar or bad punctuation or bad capitalization and spelling. I recognize the right of the people to do those things while, at the same time, I wish they didn't do them. 

And it is my right to express my wish that people be a bit more civilized and a bit less stupid. And I wish there were fewer videos but of better quality. That's all. I am not proposing we outlaw stupidity, bad quality or bad manners.

It is my contention that videos which purport they are going to teach you how to build (say) a piece of furniture and then all you see is some guy working in his workshop, those videos are a waste of time and telling me to skip them is stupid because I have to open them and watch enough of it to realize it is a waste of time.
