It’s clear that there are lots of people that disagree with me but I have a terrible loathing for the YouTube video where someone looks at the camera and talks at you.

Are other people getting a lot out of facial expressions or something?

People like people. It's that simple. We are social animals.

I don't feel quite as strongly as you, but I generally agree. I don't mind if the person is picture-in-picture-style in one of the corners, but I really would rather see something useful on the screen vs. just the person talking to me.
