It will be very funny and helpful, you'll see. These projects are written in such a way that it's natural and easy to think up a new functionality or element originally in a single source code file (which typing you can replay, both for documentation and code) and then add it to a given project, normally a new functionality, when extremely creative, is the start of its own microproject; it's extremely modular, reusable and combinable:

Hi,
No intention for offense, but it's generally considered here that video tutorial are a really bad idea, since they can not be edited appropriately. Video tutorials also cause fatigue more easily, since the continuation comes automatically with no effort from your part, discouraging you from trying to understand it well. Also, no links to resources and other external pages can be included in the text; possibly they can be pasted in the video description, but it's not clear which part of the tutorial they relate to.
There is also true that most tutorials tend to be made by inexperienced people that want to show off they are more geeky than others. However, feel free to write these tutorials on our wiki, since they can be edited appropriately by experienced people. You want to be helpful, don't you?

I personally program and produce tutorials for fun, and obviously it lets me learn and become more capable in many aspects. I can earn money by creating excellent video tutorials, but I won't stop even if I don't earn anything from it, or if I earn very slowly. I want to live from this thing that for me is a game, to keep doing it of course. We all win.
I am convinced that trolls have been extremely successful to implement this idea so deeply worldwide.
Just think about the kind of video tutorials that demo hackers could produce. They are very easy to understand and entertaining when they explain stuff.
Nobody capable of producing tutorials showing correct sequences to a solution or about the usage of a tool is inexperienced enough to not be able to help people at their same intellectual level, or nearing it, and helping them to advance and learn from there.

The thing with video tutorials is that you can produce excellent ones if you present one single thing that cannot be reduced further to perform an extremely and absolutely specific task.
Then, you can combine them in infinite other tutorials for a bigger thing.
For example, you should first make a very brief video showing the tools you will use, their exact versions, download URLs of their original projects, and URLs for a cached/archived version with only those tools that you know will never disappear (one URL per tool).
Then we could make a single video video to show exactly how to install and configure the tools in a clean, freshly installed system (if it's Linux, we must state what exact version of a Linux distribution we installed). One single video for each tool.
And so on. One video per each single particular functionality implemented in a function or a brief set of functions.
Then we can produce an ordered playlist that shows the complete development cycle along with explanations, and of course, the compliable source code to download.I actually produce that kind of tutorials and will gladly watch the videos of any other developer with these features.
