Ah, I guess it depends on the type of content you watch on youtube. I find video howtos/tutorial very annoying to watch because they're invariably too slow or too fast, I vastly prefer text-and-images-based guides for that stuff.

My preferences lean that way too, however some of the people doing this kind of production include voice of experience.
Here is a great example:
https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7qMMY6UJHpNakTDMz6vVXQ
Auto mechanic basically documenting repairs as they come into the shop.
He is doing it for a few reasons:
1. His own protection. Publishing them is smart
2. Share his experiences
3. Promote doing this work in an exemplary way.
Rather than get a simple how to with a lot of the usual fluff, viewers are getting a story, almost like being an intern of sorts.
I look forward to the problem of the day and have already found myself handling some repair and service work I do differently and better.
I did not think this was content I watch on YouTube, but apparently it is.
