My opinion, and just from watching kids watch gameplay videos - it would seem to squash/not foster a grit/curiosity that one needs to figure stuff out/create solutions for problems. Instead one immediately because a Google programmer/user - "I'll just google it". I've gotten a lot of joy of playing computer games and figuring out the puzzles - it really seems like rote repetition to just watch someone else figure it out and mime them. Most puzzles/gameplay mechanisms in computer games are not meant to be that indecipherable/difficult unless that is the point of the game ala Dark Souls and one is mostly meant to get a sense of accomplishment by figuring stuff out, though I guess if one gets that by copying a gameplay video it works out in the end in a way.
