Why is everyone asking why in the comments? The video is short and excellent. It answers the question, providing 4 reasons. I've been wondering, and now I know. Thanks OP.

Why is everyone asking why in the comments?

Probably because most of us come to forums like this one for discussion. Not to be click-baited into sitting through someone's video exposition.

The video is short and excellent.

OP posted an off-site link with a useless title, and nothing else. No explanation. No synopsis. No point of view. Just an off-site link with a title that tries to bait us into spending our time bolstering their view count for them. That alone is enough to disqualify it as an excellent post in a text forum. If he had written something thoughtful here, them maybe it could have been a valuable post.

And to a few communities at once

Yeah I'm not a fan of that.

Seems I've invited the wrath of the community. Still learning the etiquette. Regret asking the question as I appear to have really miffed some people. It's a shame. I left Reddit because of the nastiness of the comments. Mostly here it has been so much better.
