If you ever have the time I would like to read a blog post with this data and some comments about your perception towards this issue.

I have no trouble understanding why this happens on "entertainment" videos, but this issue on technical videos seems a bit strange to me.

This is still entertainment. Technical info dressed up as entertainment, but still entertainment. Clicks reign supreme.

All videos are entertainment videos; it is a medium optimized for and driven by emotional response.
