Looking at other videos of Károly Zsolnai-Fehér speaking at a podium to an audience, I think he's genuinely enthusiastic about the subject instead of putting on an act. However, when combining that unusual enthusiasm with a Hungarian accent, some listeners may find it odd sounding.

...ironically in video format.
I actually hate videos, it's easier for me to read than to listen to someone taking 5 minutes to explain a paragraph's worth of stuff.
"It's longer because monetization."
A YouTube vblog calling itself two minute papers seems pretty ironic to me. The word "papers" is key here.
I feel like I am repeating myself.
Definition of irony...
Since we consume either articles (which are often rated as "This will take you 3 minutes to read") or video, the title is deceiving. Particularly as someone who finds consuming information infuriatingly slow in videos, and prefer to read or scan articles, I find it has a sense of irony to it.
