   Lehto's Law is a channel that demonstrates something I hate about   
   YouTube.   
      
   It has interesting content, but the 'video' angle has exactly zero   
   added value - its just him sitting in his office talking at the   
   camera.   
      
   You spend 10-40 minutes for a story you could have read in 5 minutes.   
      
   No wonder I watch it at 1.5x to 1.75x speed, and still feel he's   
   wasting my time.
