How is it spam? While not a high quality video, it is a video (which is YouTube’s medium) that supplies the answer the video purports to offer. And it’s not riddled with any advertising, or otherwise superfluous components.

If it’s not valuable, it should get down ranked by its lack of value. But that’s not happening.
