I like watching how-to videos, but some of them on YouTube annoy me. They show someone working fast and not talking. He's taking apart, cutting, gluing, wiring, and soldering. When he's finished, he shows off - something. Why bother?
I realize that not everyone speaks English, but they could have English text on the screen. Many foreigners do that, and I know what's going on. These fast, silent videos seem to be getting more common, so I just switch them off.
Obviuosly we are both annoyed by the same trend on DIY videos and the speed of presentation. I use Pause and the Back slide along with presentation speed adjustment often just to get the info that is buried by speed demons otherwise. Sometime I think that those people realy want to impress them selfs at how fast they can present the work.
The geeks are the worst offenders imho, showing you how to do certain shorcuts on cell phone, talking 90 milles and hour,
