Unfortunately, I think YouTube rewards you for this. At least it feels that way based on how long YouTube video’s take to get to the point
This might be caused by mid-roll ads. Videos need to be 8 minutes long to qualify for those, and you want people to actually reach the ad.

"hi, I'm x, I work at y, and have had an interest in/experience with z" is ussally good enough.
A big pet peeve of mine is long intros. 30 seconds is probably fine but minutes is way too long. This goes for talks, youtube videos, etc.
I get why people do it, they want to reduce risk by addressing things that could go wrong (is this person qualified? I don’t understand the context. Etc) but man be a little brave and get to the point.
