Maybe watching video of self-performance is subconscious confirmation that the work that went into making the video has indeed been done...and successfully posted...and does not stoke embarrassment.

When I make things, I often spend time confirming the work is done. And seeing what I actually made.

It is part of the psychological experience of making things for me.
