For n=1, at least, I appreciated the summary (even though I understand what you meant about spoiling it). I habitually avoid videos on the internet, and with the summary, I was able to at least get the gist of the video, whereas otherwise, I would have never watched it.

  Yes, even TED talks. They're not magically better. If I can't read a summary to judge the quality of information, it's likely I can just skip the whole thing and save myself from having my time wasted.

    i like transcripts some discussion boards that post videos also post transcripts summaries are cool too though depending. works best with videos that are just talking..

      There's a transcript on the same page as the video, even with translations.

    When people are paying that much money to hear the talks, you've got to make sure you are telling them what they want to hear.
