There's really no need to fuss and argue. Grim's video has pros AND cons. It does help newer players by showing them a way to grind for (somewhat) fast electrum. However, it's not the best or fastest way, which is xdude's point.
Here's my problem with it. Who is actually going to watch the video when first starting out? A simple instructional post could do the trick. Likewise, and this kind of ties in with what xdude is saying, people usually like to see the fastest, most efficient way of doing things.
Now a tutorial video on how to use the browser-based card creator probably would have beaten me. Besides, Grim's video is only a few votes away from mine.
