Just so you know, the last two (or so) videos have had expensive custom images, video, reconstructions, illustrations, self shot on-location imagery, etc. He mentioned it in an intro awhile back. That's the reason for the long delay between recent videos.

The stock stuff earlier really adds value though. It's not some generic background pan and zoom. If it's in the background it's probably being activity talked about and being used as a visual aid. Having a map of an area or seeing the ruins as they are today or quotes from sou fe out of books etc really elevates the experience.

I honestly don't listen to the non-video ones they are such an essential element.
