There's a guy who makes youtube videos like this a lot. He's a good guy and a smart guy but seems to either not care or not realize he isn't helping. I've seen videos like "Computer Vision In 5 lines" where the first line is "import helperclass.py" or something like that and that helper class has like 1500 lines of code that he wrote to implement. Sure people need to be aware of what they're learning but if someone has no programming experience and finds that video they're going to just think it's magic.
