This is a common complaint about YouTube videos. Often the host is either enamored with his own voice, or is just disorganized.
Do everyone a favor, plan out what you want to say, have bullet points, hit the main topics with only necessary elaboration, and for christ's sake, make sure it's in focus and properly lit. It's all about having respect for your audience.
Here are some things I hate seeing:
-Intro sequences with rock music and graphics. You aren't Lucasfilm. Get to the content. I don't even like watching them on "famous" YouTube channels.
-Pleas for subscribers. I know where you are if your content is good enough to bring me back.
-Poor/no scripting. Don't ramble. Have a path and stick to it. Bring me compelling info. That's why I'm there in the first place.
-No lighting/focus. Don't waste my time with blurry, dark shapes Know your camera's minimum focal distance.
-Too much irrelevant content. I don't need to see the fedex unboxing. Show me before and after with closeups of the components you had repaired. The whole thing should take a minute or two max.
Don't be discouraged by criticism. Keep at it!
