Text summary, for those who value their time?

Which I suppose you expect to be written by someone who doesn't value their time. And, I'm guessing, without any offer of compensation from you.

If you're going to ask someone to do you a favor it's more effective if you dispense with the snark.

That "request" ought to have been worded a little better, but one would think that a person who went to the trouble to link the presentation would have considered some value in providing at least a short summary or excerpt. Clearly they don't value time THAT much. And the linked video is 65 minutes long, and given a clickbaity title. A paragraph or two isn't a lot to ask for, it would at least have given OP an opportunity to open and focus discussion on whatever he found interesting about the video.
