A good video for those wanting to check out their charging system... Especially with a Parasitic draw. (A great channel to subscribe to for the DIY-er)

This isn't one of his best that is for sure but it does touch on all the points of checking a modern charging system in just a few steps. That it took 35 minutes yeah I agree it could have been much shorter. His other videos are more to the point.
He's friends with the South Main Auto guy Eric O. and they have done some videos together along with ScannerDanner

I agree. sometimes a video has benefits but mostly they are a slow and tedious means of getting the information across. I find myself saying for **** sake get to the point.

In this case it wasn't mostly the guy's fault. Its just that the medium doesn't really work here. Pictures are often useful but they don't very often need to be moving.
I read something (online somewhere I think) that made a case that one of the Space Shuttle disasters was caused (or at least contributed to) by PowerPoint, because it encouraged (even enforced) a "pitch" delivery style in the engineers presenting to management, leading to suppression of potential downsides.

A rather more serious example of the wrong tool for the job, but The medium is still (part of) the message
