You seem to have missed that this is a science-communication video aimed to help lay-people understand APIs, standards, online abuse, privacy issues, and how automation is playing into the issues we have in society stemming from social media.

I don't think that changes the fact that the gimmick, that gives the name to the video and the submission in HN, is pretty unimpressive.

Who said it has to be impressive? It's simply something fun that relates to the deeper dive he takes in the video.
I'd go further and say that it needs to be simple above all else, to help communicate the message. Confusing that with the ideas of video editing/compositing and uploading would make the message less effective.
