Like it or not that is the effect of it.
well the benefit of that is that the viewer doesnt't feel the "sales pitch" of whoever made the video
its like going to a car dealership and just looking around without the panting salesman screaming about incentives in your ear
a more laid back approach can draw viewers in rather than a pounding drum (metaphorically, not referring to the music) that makes people want to run away
i like the laid back approach
