Yes, I wasn't disputing the benefits -- just commenting on a possible avenue of improvement ;-)
Live commentary is a hard thing to do - but I really feel the accompanying video should then reflect the commented action scenes, rather than just "willy-nilly" portraying a "random" view of the match .. this is more of a problem if you don't watch it in fullscreen than if you do - well .. it's a hard thing to do "right" in any case, just look at the resources thrown behind pro-sports commentaries - those people have training to do their job! So, for volunteers it's an awesome job and it definitely gives some nice exposure & possibility for commentary for the "consuming individuals" .. I guess the harshness of my comment was mainly influenced by my abhorence of advertisment in general, so - nothing to do with the product in of itself :-P
