For formal technical training videos that you'd actually pay for, other than video of the instructor in the intro, do you care about seeing the instructor in the corner during the actual lesson? What do you prefer for the format? Is the talking head important at all if the training content is good?

I hate talking heads. No value. Tends to obscure key parts of some slides. Disclaimer: I prefer text to video: faster, searchable, easier to vary speed with. No having to try to find the video clip that was visible for 1 second to screen capture it.

The content beyond the videos is what I want more of. Written content, labs, practice quizzes. Talking head is maybe more important if you want to build parasocial relationships with people
