Yeah, that was rough. That was a side effect of our decision to have most videos created by freelancers. Those freelancers did a great job doing what we asked them to do, unfortunately the problem was that what we asked them to do was focus on quantity over quality. So there was very little time to make the best possible video, and oftentimes videos were made by creators who weren’t familiar with the topic they were writing about.

Hence, results like what you saw.
