This. Entirely.

The narrator sounds utterly dull and monotonous, and the images don't follow the narration at all and seem utterly random. At times they're even inconsiderate, matching an image with a piece of text that contradict each other or even makes an insensitive connection.

The videos are generally speaking also of low quality, the crops are awkward (akin to YouTubers cutting their videos to avoid copyright infringements), and these things are often not even worth the term "video", as they just play a random scene for 2 minutes that has little to do with what the narrator is droning on about. There is a video on my wiki spanning 2:11 minutes, and only after 40 seconds (so that's 1/3 of the video) does the page subject actually appear.

Can someone at FANDOM please explain to me how these videos are worthy of being plastered at the top of our pages? How can we, the editors who spend countless hours trying to create content as accurate and high quality as we can, be anything else but frustrated about this? All the party lines and staff blogs about this feature are enthusiastic selling pieces about how videos are the next big thing and how they're what the changing audience of wikis are allegedly expecting, but does FANDOM really expect us to believe that just showing a random scene with a monotone voice-over is the "great video content" that anyone is looking for?
