Ok I get that some people may have no idea what they're doing and appreciate the extra pointers but if the task you're trying to research is fairly technical then perhaps someone who needs all the fluffy extra garnishing of information might ought to avoid trying it in the first place.

At the very least these self-appointed YouTube 'broadcasters' could offer a link to a direct, stripped-down and straight-to-the-point alternative, or even something in the title that tells you at which time frame the actual instructions begin.
