What's the deeper meaning of hiding all the URLs one has to enter in a silly video? Am I supposed to pause the video and quickly jot them down? A proper article with the relevant links would be a lot more useful.

The big reason is that these videos are redistributed all over the Internet. I try to embed all the relevant info into the video itself so if a person doesn't watch it here they can still follow the directions.
