To me a Let's Play is a useful insight into how someone else tackles a game. Commonly if I am stuck, I will look for a Let's Play video to see how it's done. It's also great being able to see the ending of a game which you find impossible to complete. Also in the case of a story-driven game, I might decide to watch a Let's Play of the previous game to refresh my memory on basic plot points. If anything they are good for the gaming industry.
