In web development we often talk about the metrics that tell us that most users will not wait more than two seconds for a page to load and that auto-play content reduces return traffic. Why do these YouTube channels still have ten-seconds-long intros and just-loud-enough-to-know-that-it's-there thrash metal? When is YouTube finally going to become the MySpace of video sharing and be replaced by something more elegant?
The video itself is very cool. I love the quick cuts, excellent viewing angles and sounds of metalworking but the music detracts from the content. Primitive Technology[1] is a great example of how to handle the audio in a video like this.
