Obvious result: stuttering, misreading lines, having to restart a sentence multiple times.
Granted, it's a free course. But I've seen better quality on YT - from people who are independent, and not part of a huge company...
Oh, that's just the usual "motivated amateurs do it better than the professionals".

Meh, I'm sure sooner or later people will realize that the future is MULTImedial - i.e. have TEXT accompanying the video, so you can skip it and perhaps skip to the relevant portions.
I don't know. I mean, obviously I want that day to come. But I am pretty sure "multimedia!!!" is just an excuse, not an actual goal of theirs.

They want video, and "multimedia" is simply the excuse they use.
