I can't really comment necessarily since I've watched several.. Enthusiastic youtubers. But there's a bit of a difference these days between a play-through/let's play, and a guide. And sometimes when you want a guide, you just want a guide.
Agree. There's a difference between a guide, a longplay, and a let's play. A guide should be short and to the point, a longplay should just be a playthrough of the game with no commentary, and a let's play is where I am coming to see the player as much as the game.

i even watch some let's plays just because of the letsplayer, not the game itself. some youtubers have a character who is entertaining enough.. whatever game they play. some of them could even just talk without gameplay and i would watch them.
I've watched several games I'd probably never have looked at if it weren't for the let's player. And, of course, other videos as well...

Just finished the follow up of Jacksepticeye and Markiplier poledancing. Admittedly I clicked the original video because I thought it was them playing some bizarre game together. But can honestly say I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

And I probably would never have got through the dark souls games if I hadn't found lobos Jr, either. I tried several peoples' vids, gave them a fair shot... and couldn't get through more than maybe 30 minutes before I found myself bored or annoyed.

Let's players are really enjoyable when you can find ones you click with
I like those people. It shows me that they're confident in what they do and what they show. Now if they start promoting themselves everywhere though...
